VB Forum / General 2 / February 2004

I'm using Visual Basic 5.0 which I know doesn't have the Replace
Function ability. I have a user form with a TextBox that can have
multiple lines of data in it, which I send to a DOCVARIABLE in a Word
doc. When I open the Word doc I see little square boxes representing

I have a database like this:
personA IT
personB US
personC IT

I am trying to create an ActiveX exe that can run as a standalone desktop
application and provide objects to other applications. (I saw it written in
MSDN, "choosing a project type and setting project properties"). I haven't
done it before and it is very important for a new project ...

Would like to take my three text boxes txt1 + txt2 = text3 I have this book
visual basic6 how to program and can do alot of other stuff but not add!
Have spent about 5 hour trying to figure it out. Thanks damon4@hotmail.com

This has been giving me trouble for a while. I want to verify a URL (if
it exists) with VB6, because sometimes the URL (my server) shuts down,
so basically I just want it to ping a redirect to my IP and see whether
my system is up and running.

I want to set up the COM1 port.
How do I define MSComm1 as an object so as to run the following:-
MSComm1.CommPort = 1
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"

i load several images in an "image box". The box has the function Stretch

I have constructed, and packaged a project that works as planned, but for
some strange and odd reason,
setup fails miserably on SOME Windows ME systems.   They get a dialog box
about system files that need

Here's the problem
with common dialog control on form
cancelerror is set to true in properties box
I get a dialog box instead of msgbox in error trap when testing program

I have a single VB program that I put in different directories.  And
each program in each directory is run using the windows task
scheduler.  All the programs fires just fine and also they overlapped
meaning several programs may be running all the same time.

I'm working with an ado recordset in VB6 - connecting to a database
and updating every record for a new index number based on a filter set
ordered by the user.  I get the "File Sharing Lock Count Esceeded.
Increas MaxLocksPerFile registry entry"

Why doesn't the error handler catch the division by zero in this code?
Private Sub Command1_Click()
   On Error GoTo Error_Handler
   Dim x As Single

can someone here tell me how to search for text within string? I think
that's how it would be said. I want to program a web browser that can only
go to certain websites and pages within that site.
thanx

I can't find a legit copy anywhere?!
Can anyone help?
