VB Forum / General 2 / December 2003

I'am using VB6 with SP5 and running windows XP.  My program has been going great until I deceided to use FSO to read and write text files.  Now VB shuts down or a window pops up telling me VB must close (send report).  Has anyone heard of a problem with FSO.  Should I read and ...

It seems strange that the first thing people do to correct code posted by others
is to put Option Explicit at the start of it.
Now I'm all for people wanting to use this feature, and I'm not having a go at
anyone who does, but is it absolutely necessary to tell someone to correct ...

Is there any code out there to replace the Open File dialog in the
common controls?  Or, I would like to just make sure that the Explorer
item in the context menu doesn't appear when the user right clicks on a
folder.  Any ideas?

Try this:
Sub Main()
   Dim F As Double
   F = Log(3) / Log(3)

After installing my program on Windows XP
I run the program and my Application Events do not fire
unless I manually Click on the Control.
Actually non of the events fire after the form is loaded.

In an app I've written, there is a slight pause (just like calling
Sleep) about 2 minutes after startup, and it appears that either the
user.dat or system.dat files are being modified (at least the time
stamps appear to corroborate that). Anyone have any idea what that

function Foo(tmp_str as variant)
  tmp_str = Format$(tmp_date, "dd/mm/yy")
end function
sub main()

Is it possible? I have a procedure running which needs to know if a certain
command button has been pressed. I had thought of setting a global boolean
variable that can be read from anywhere and would be set to True if the
command event was triggered. Is there any other way, or have ...

I have created a setup.exe for my VB6 app (2.6 M) using the Inno Setup
compiler. How do I upload it to my website using WS_FTP Pro? And what HTML
code do I need at my webpage for distributing free downloads?

I'm formatting data in a text file using a "For Each aPara" statement
along with a "Next aPara." How do I make the thing stop when it
reaches the end of the file, rather than starting again at the top of
the file and looping forever? Thanks, I'm new at this.

This may sound very basic.  I have built a very long procedure with way too
many Ifs etc.  I wonder if it is possible to transfer at least some of the
contents to modules so in case an if condition is satisfied the procedure to
be followed will be in a module.  As an example, let me ...

Well, J French, Here's your idea in my hands, scary isn't it. I created a
Module to Track all my Objects, but I did it using a Class that I had
created... Its the coveted (at least by me) "TStringList" from Delphi. This
is probebly recreateing the wheel but I have instantly found it ...

Is it possible to have a form with tabs at the top e.g. like the Display
Properties Menu within Windows?
How do I go about it?
