VB Forum / General 2 / May 2004

This isn't for a project specifically, I'm just interested to crack it.  I'm

completely ;-) ), I'm more than willing to accept that there ...

I have a VB program that lets users design their reports and print
them. Whenever they insert an image in the report and print it, the
alignment is sure to run out. When they preview the report, everything
aligns. And printing without an image inserted is ok.

I use the following code to add a macro to an excel 2000 spreadsheet.
However, when I want the macro to run is says it can't find the macro.
If you then open the spreadsheet, you can run the macro directly and

I've just encountered a problem I've never seen before.
In VB6 (SP5) no matter what type of project (exe, dll) or if it's a new
project or opening an existing project. If I click on file in the IDE the

Hi.  We have a legacy app out in the field that is a fairly simple VB4
16-bit app.  On one (and only one) Windows2000 box, the user gets a GPF
on USER.EXE.  The subroutine varies, but it's always on USER.EXE.
Anyone know where to start diagnosing this problem?  Thanks.

I currently use VB version 4.0 but would like to start using
BisualBasic.net.  I have tried to install VB.net but I keep getting a
message that I must reboot.  Can I install BV.net and still use VB4.0?

I want from VBA, be able to read what the host name of a text file is.
For example, if the file passed to the function is on a particular
server, I want to retrieve the name of the server it resides on. Does

I asked this question in a Win98 newsgroup several days ago and have not received an answer.
A neighbor has W98, it takes a long time to shut down and he asked my help.  I have Win NT and Win
XP.  Can anyone offer suggestions for what may be the problem or what I may try to speed ...

In the sub Main I have a line of code that will shut down the app if
App.PrevInstance = True.
Q1. App.PrevInstance only works if the same exe file is opened again. If the
exe file is copied to another location and opened it will not detect if

I am tired of searching the net for an application that will allow me
to manage my MP3 files in the way that want to, so I have decided I

I have completed some of the functionality, but am having trouble with
