I recently created a DLL using ATL in VC++ 6.0, and referenced the
typelib in a VB6 project.
If I have an object from the library, say:
  Dim x as MyLib.Thingy

I wrote a program for a friend who has a small business.  He has XP and has experienced a problem
saving new entries.  I have not experienced it on my XP home version or NT 4 machines.
Occasionally, after entering the client data and clicking Save, the data disappears totally and ...

I try hardly to read the content of a COMM1 port connected to a modem.
In the second loop, the MSComm1.input is always empty, even with a
Pause(1) statement,
anybody sees immediately what's wrong in the code ???

I have made a simple "server" to handle transactions in an Access database,
ie. accept small text strings containing an sql clause or a hard-coded
command and send back the result as a delimited string.  It is based on the
MS Winsock control and is actually working nicely even ...

I don't know if it's simple but I can't get it out from my MSDN. Could
someone tell me how to make mouse click a specific coordinate on an
Application. Not on the screen, Application. So the upper left corner of the
application would be 0,0.
