VB6
XP SP2
I try to declare functions, subroutines, variables etc
public or private depending on how I want to use them.

It seems that while VB can load various image formats (JPG,BMP,GIF) into a
standard Picture object, it can only save them as BMPs.  As Mike indicated
in a previous thread, in order to save an image in JPG format, you need to
incorporate a conversion utility such as the one ...

I've got an application I developed in Visual Basic .NET a couple of
years ago.  It's been working fine, querying records from a SQL 2000
database, doing some data modifications & then writing it back to a
different (proprietary) database.

I'm having intermittent problems where I can't delete my VB6
executable.  If I try to compile, VB6 says it can't overwrite
the old executable file.  XPSP2 can't delete the file, but I can copy
another (completely different file renamed the same) file over

English is not my first language so the contents of the question might

I have a PictureBox control which contains a JPG.  I want the user to be
able to rotate the JPG either left or right 90 degrees, nothing else.  I
found a pretty cool piece of code which uses PlgBlt.  You put the source in
Picture1 and it draws the rotated result in Picture2, ...

you will also get older and off from the window.

Anybody have a way of moving from cell to cell using the tab key in a
MSFLEXGRID in VB6?
I worked one out for the enter key but the tab key causes the focus to
jump to other objects on the form, leaving the grid.

I'm running VB5 on XP. Is there a function like InStr that can verify if
string2 is found in string1, and which would return true (or position) for
the folllowing example:
   String1 = "January 23rd, Mélanie's first birthday"

This confuses the hell out of me...
Is there a way to kick Excel in its behind to make it realize
that if it can find the rest of its VBA.xxx functions, it
should know where "CurDir" is too?

I have a form with an image.  When the user resizes the form, my code
resizes the image accordingly, with the Form1.Resize event.  When I resize
the form by dragging the border, the image gets resized very often (as my
mouse moves across the screen) and causes the image to ...

I am successfully programing a lot but I am seeking further advice in some
cases.
