MouseIcon="thefinger.cur") that at run-time, all the colors wash
out, and a monochrome cursor is displayed?

I just started writting a kids program to help them with their math skills.
It'll have a pile of colored balls with numbers on them that they'll click
on 2 or more balls to add to their target amount.  I've learned some about
object oriented programming but not how to use it.  I'd ...

    I'm a newbie to Visual Basic, but a very quick learner. I've been
reading the text of 'VB6 Black Book' that I downloaded on Kazaa, but
none of the illustrations were included. I can follow the text easily

The following is a project I am working on:
Private Function getPos(strAltitude) As String
       Dim strAltitude As String
       strAltitude = "FT  3000    6000    9000   12000   18000   24000  30000

I'm a new guy when it comes to VB and I was hoping for some assistance. I
work for a trucking business and my job is to help create route books. I
have a text file rpt_cdc.txt (http://swandust.com/rpt_cdc.txt) that I get

How do I get the first name to be on two different lines of a label.
Example, First name on first line, Last name on second line.  Perhaps I have
this entire thing wrong.
Dim strfname As String

I have a rather strange question
I am building an app that the user wants hsi name on each form
No big deal except the nae is like R & J Assoc.
I am using a label and hard coding the name on each form.

I'm trying to search for records from an Access db where the user types 2
letters & the list narrows down accordingly.  At the moment the system I've
devised works fine when searching by typing one letter, but as the other
letter is typed the results appear at the end of the list.  ...

I have some code to load a file and I want it to trap when the user
presses escape or hits the cancel button on the form.  For some
reason, it is not catching this.  Is there any explanation for this?
Here's the code:

I have set the MaxLength property of a textbox in a form
