Yes. Presumably that mnuMyMenu was created using the Menu Editor; if it could be created using code, the solution would be more elegant.

The PopUpMenu method can do it provided it is provided with a Menu object. While you can always create a hidden Menu using the Menu Editor, it seems to me to be neater if one can create an independent Menu object at run-time. If that is possible I don't know how to do it.

Right. Thanks for allowing the interjection, 69x.

jrbarnett: I checked it out and it looks nice but what johnwm seems to be talking about is some kind of .ini file editor?

Okay. But if MSConfig is like a Windows utility that used to open config.sys, autoexec.bat, win.ini etc. in one stroke, it would be quite convenient.

johnwm: didn't work for me.

The DriveListBox and DirListBox standard controls ( on the Toolbox ) will do it but I don't think they will automatically open a selected file.

...powerful and lucid reason for the adoption of 0 to represent the Boolean value 'false' by 0 and 'true' by any non-zero number, especially -1 by the *implementor* of a high-level language. But what is the point of abstraction if you revert to basics when the abstarct mechanisms are serving the...

I beleive that in Visual BASIC, the truth value true is specified by the Boolean literal 'True' ( case insensitive ); the trught value false is specified by the Boolean lietral 'False'. Not <Boolean-variable> results in the opposite truth value. If such is the case the underlying ( numeric )...

He'd still have the same problem. Either way might a Google srearch on &quot;cross compilers&quot; help? Maybe he can find one that converts to standard BASIC and then paste that code into a sufficently old version of VB ( 3 say ) and then successively upgrade through 4,5 into 6.

I also am struggling with ADO parametrized queries and was not able to get any satisfactory replies. Further I am not using stored procedures. But a few hypotheses I formed while digging into the topic ( in relation to queries are ): o Microsoft claims its more efficient ( speedwise ) to...

Try it.

Don't authors get an automatic copyright on thier work?

What this means is that VB.Net will look deceptively like previous versions. Actually ( possibilly excepting the language itself ), every single thing will have to be relearnt - even e.g. the members of TextBox ( who knows the definition of a member may or may not have changed; maybe all the...

What about using the Controls collection that all control containers have. This has a member ADd or Append ( I forget which ), that can add controls without creating a controls array. You need to know the ProgID of the control ( obtain from Object Browser ). You can assign any symbolic name to...

A very wise criterion, LochDhu. How steep is the learning curve for vb.net? Is VB.Net nothing but VB for .Net or are the differences so many that it amounts to an entirely different ballpark? I mean e.g.: o is the applications model different o is the IDE different in nature o are the standard...

how did you do that audit trail

Since your topic is described broadly, I think the same thread shold include anything that falls within its ambit. But global variables or no gloabls is not a queastion of style. A question of style is one in which one of two or more alternatives may be adopted without significant diffence in...

Like so many articles, this only shows how to edit existing records. I have never seen any that show you how to add ( new ) records and delete records.
