I need to find the PID of a process when all i know is the file name
such as 'notepad.exe'.  Ive seen that Shell(strProcess, vbNormalFocus)

I would like set some of my text boxes as
"txtBox.Enabled = False"
However I would like the text "color" to be 'black' instead of grey.
I realise that windows has a good reason for setting the text

I use the common dialog control for opening/saving files in my app.
When showing the dialog I do not set the init directory.

I recently got a new notebook computer. I will list the specs at the
end, in case anything in the system is the cause of my problem.
I just did all my re-installs, you know what a pain it is with a new
computer.

Each entry in a data file includes date and time in text format - e.g.
"0601271325" = 2006, January 27th, 1:25 pm.  Is there a simple way to
calculate the hours (including decimal parts) between two of these entries?

Hi, is there any way of getting my VB (6.0) program to automatically
