I wrote a program that copies a specified set of files in a folder
from a CD to a user's hard drive.  I have the problem of winding up
with folders and files that are set to "read only."  I have figured
out a way to uncheck the folder's read-only bit in VB, but the files

I would like to figure out a way to add controls to a form using specs
stored in a table.  Any assistance in fleshing this idea out would be
greatly appreciated.  I'm using VB6.
Right now I am thinking I would loop through the specs table

I need to find out out to zip all files in a directory into one .zip
archive. I would have saved time and just used winzip by command line or
something, but I cannot include any additional software. I microsofts web
page I found this:

Why does the following code generate an error 5 - invalid procedure call or
argument in VB 6.0?
intTest = iif(len(strSomething)>0, asc(mid$(strSomething,2,1)),0)
in the case when this error occurs strSomething is a zero-length string, so

I'm at wits end about this, all the books I've read on all the major
languages ignore this, and any "experts" I ask skirt the subject,

If I wanted to access the Process Table, how would I go about doing

Hope someone can help or have a free control. I am going to be passing
data from a client computer to a server via a winsock control. I want
to encrypt/decript the contents of the string that is passed back and
forth. Anyone have any ideas?

Project is a VB6.0 DLL.  Aim is to read a .bmp, alter its

Hi, I get a Runtime Error 75: Path/File Access Error when doing a

I'm a new learner to VB 6.0. I creeated a program  on VB run some test
and have the data save into a predesigned data sheet that was created
on MS Word.
After developing, I made an executable file for the program. And

I have a flexgrid control which will be displaying some key elements
for a program. The grid has only one column, but many rows. Each
row/cell contains a keyword with a specified backcolor, and soon I
will be adding the forecolor as an option as well.

I'm trying to learn VB. I get the following error when I add a
VB project to the one I'm currently working on
