debugger gets confused, forgetting the contents of some objects, such as
textboxes.

I have taken over an VB6 application that does a lot of things

how do i this???????

how do i make a program with a timer that will work in the background, that
is to say, appears where msn messenger or internet connections appear and
how do i make it so a timer will activate at the push of a button such as
"F7"

I have an application which uses the default Microsoft controls for
handling text. This text is passed between functions (as you would),
manipulated and read from (and written to) text files.
Unfortunately I need to provide Unicode support so have started work on

I have a textbox set to multiline and I want to iterate
thru the contents of the box checking each line for
