How can I run a VB6 app which will pop-up its form on top of all other
Windows programs currently running? Just like instant messages behave. It
is an urgent reminder which times out after a specified time. Initial use
is to warn that the server will shortly go off-line.  

If a problem occurs with a music file (doesn't exist, etc) is it
possible to stop the program from crashing if any error occurs and for
just a message box to be displayed to the user?
Thanks, James.

Is it possible to detect whether a wav, mp3, or any music file has
finished playing.
The file will be started in my program.
Thanks, James.

This is a very basic question that I was unable to find an answer for
searching Google. So forgive me for asking due to its simplicity.
As I'm looking into learning more about objects/classes to perhaps change
old bad habits in VB, one of those bad habits happens to be never ...

I want to select only cells with something inside not empty. For
example:
I want to find a function in VBA witch work like SHIFT+END+"ArrowDown
or Up"

Just trying to keep up with changes. I'm installing VB.NET on my system and
would like to know what newsgroup is best for VB.NET programmers. I know

Thank you!

Is it possible to stop a program from crashing if there is an error
when attempting to play a music file i.e. it doen't exist or it is

Thanks, James.

I need help with VB6 code to direct a WAV file
to the computer speaker. Anyone know how to do
this?

I found this in one of the news groups.
OK, I was intrigued. Here is a quickie (it needs error-handling and input
validation) that will handle positive numbers between 1.0E-308 and 1.0E+308:
function NumToExpNot(byval val)

I have to treat a given text file, but haven't got a clue which
extended ASCII set it is using.
Opening the file in Windows' Notepad or in DOS, all accented letters
and symbols are wrong.

I am using getObject to attach my form to a microsoft visio(a microsoft
drawing tool)  drawing and then during the execution the code resizes
the form, what happens is that the form is resized all right but it
also moves from its position. can anyone please point out the problem?

Hi grp (this one seems alive..)
What the ... is this. Have I missed something?
Dim x as Long
x = 192 * 256        '** overflow error ???

What would the code look like for a visual basic dialog box that had a
textbox or two to enter variables, some buttons to incorporate the variables
into commands for an open console telnet connection (like Reflections or
Exceed)? The command buttons would include carriage returns ...
