I know sooner or later I will have to do this, so I thought I would ask.  To date I have designed my
programs to operate under 1024 x 768 or there about.  I suppose it is time for me to learn how to
compensate for 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1280 x 1080 screen resolutions ...

Ok, I am writing a simple little program to show how many days until
an event.  I seem to have a problem with the results.  It seems that
it is off by a day.
For Example:

Can somebody please help? I can't seem to trap/capture the tab key in a
modal dialog from any KeyDown event, whether it's the main form KeyDown
event or any of its child control KeyDown events. I can, however, trap other
types of keystrokes, no problem. Also, I've experimented with ...

I have a VB6 application that uses an Access 2000 database using DAO
3.6. My code in VB6 builds a query like this...
QueryString = "UPDATE h_Keys SET " & _

I recently (only moments ago) had 2 viruses. Task manager would not start,
so luckily, I had my own version to hand. I can list all the running

How do I make a form scrollable if the contents of the form exceed either

enable to do this, but apparently not.

I have an application that does file operations (creating, writing,
etc).  It has an abort button to stop any operation that is executing
at that moment.  The entire code logic has a doEvents in it.
When I click on Abort, I would like to halt the doEvents after

The SysAdmin uses this shell in place of Explorer, so there is no
taskbar.  When his users run PC Anywhere from the shell, and minimize

In VB.NET, one of the project types is a Class Library.  This creates a .dll
that can be used/referenced by other projects/programs.
When using the Declare statement in the other program, you Declare a Subroutine
or a Function with a set of arguments that get passed to the Sub or ...

I can't seem to find the answer using google!  Is there a way to set the
insert key to toggle between insert and typeover within a textbox?
Thanks.

I have a program developed in VB6 that every second (based
on the timer control) uses the MSCOMM control to
communicate to some electronics to get a sensor reading.  
This works fine except when the system clock rolls over to

I'm writing a simple application, that need to send keys to other programs,
like games.
I'm using VB sendkey and I have no problem to let it work with notepad and
so on, but If I try to send them to quite all games, it don't works.

Anyone have any sources of information about converting old FORTRAN programs
utilizing the EQUIVALENCE statement to Visual Basic?
Thanks!
