I have a VB 6 sp6  app I wrote about a year ago that uses the picture

does anybody know why VB changes the value in the following example:
Dim M1 As Single, M2 As Double
M1 = 29.26
M2 = M1

What component houses the grid control visible in Windows Explorer
while viewing files in the "Details" format?
I've seen other programs use it, and it certainly isn't MSFlexGrid,

I was using a standard windows timer, but it gave an error over 9% on

manually changing from 100%.  When it happens, I have noticed that

I loaded VB.net standard. I downloaded a walkthrough for the web application
and was following the directions, when it asked me to locate the db file. I
also loaded Frontpage 2k. I am finding out that I need SQL. I opened the
msde and ran the setup, but the operation keeps stoping ...

does anybody know how to make the program as a  single user
installation, meaning that the program only can install on one pc but

I have been having trouble with controls in VB5 every since I got XP.  I am
not the administrator, and thus I cannot use OCXs or DLLs (except for API
Calls, which work).  When I try to add a new control or set of controls to
the toolbar, I check them, click OK or Apply, and I get an ...

Normally a software will allow us 30 days evaluation period before we
buy the software. Does anybody know how to make the program only can
run for 30 days and after 30 days we cant run the program anymore? Let

All:
I used some code from Michael Harrington to help me with my "VB Text
File Manipulation" and it worked like a charm. I was hoping that it
