    Starting college soon... Should I go with a BS in CS or IS

    I came accross this post while just searching the site and was excited to see that somebody else knows what informatics is. My fiance just graduated with an informatics degree and I think only about one or two people have actually known what it is when he tells people what his major was...

    From .exe to .dll

    I think I understand the difference now. Am I going to have to start over with my form with all the textboxes and command buttons to make it modal or is there something in the properties which will do it? Thanks :) ~Kendra You've heard about the computer programmer that died while washing...

    From .exe to .dll

    I recently discovered that the program I just finished now needs to be an ActiveX .dll instead of the standard .exe I had created it as. It has to be a .dll in order to run inside a data analysis program (MetaMorph). I think I have the forms and modules transfered correctly over to the .dll...

    A little off topic -- tipping

    Here's a link from one of the local papers where I live. The ironic part is that the resturaunt in this article is the same one from my story on Friday. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/237788_overcharge24.html You've heard about the computer programmer that died while washing his hair in...

    A little off topic -- tipping

    Today I went out to lunch with some co-workers to a resturaunt close to where we work (at a university). One of my co-workers received her food and it was extremely dry, to the point that forks couldn't even penetrate it...and when they did it would shoot half of the food accross the table...

    Need a non-compute intensive delay function for VBA

    Will the sleep function work in a loop? I've tried it before and it just froze my computer completely. Instead I found a Wait command which i had loop every half second to check for a value to be true. You've heard about the computer programmer that died while washing his hair in the shower...

    Split() question

    Thanks, the replace works great :) This makes my for/next loop look a lot prettier (and my code a lot less complicated) You've heard about the computer programmer that died while washing his hair in the shower. The instructions said, 'Lather, rinse, repeat.'

    Split() question

    Each line of my textbox is an array which is read from an excel file. In the text box it looks somewhat like this where all the pump commands are in one column and the different valve commands are in their columns: Pump /Z Valve /Y Valve SLEW = 5000 GO5 GO15 VM = 5000...

    Opening word - Automation Error

    Does the laptop have the same version of word? Not sure if this would cause the same error, but it could be because of the object library which is referenced.

    Excel select and clear range using variable for range name

    I had this similar problem earlier, In ADoozer's code they have Range("FredTheRange").Select; try adding the worksheet name to it. (i.e. xlWS.Range("FredTheRange").Select) Hope this makes sense :) You've heard about the computer programmer that died while washing his hair in the shower. The...

    Can u suggest me a o good VB book

    What type of features does the program deal with? When I was trying to do that I just searched my library's database for "visual basic 6" and general terms for the type of program. There are a lot of good online tutorials which explain aspects of code. If by chance your program deals with...

    Option Explicit Dim chan2 As Double, tmes2 As Double Private Sub Form_Load() chan2 = Val(InputBox("How many channels?", "Channels", 16)) + 1 tmes2 = Val(InputBox("How many time changes?", "Times", 10)) + 1 Const chan As Integer = chan2 Const tmes As Integer = tmes2 End...

    Defining Constants from InputBox

    I need it to be a constant because I use the value for defining an array and when i tried just using a variable it said "constant value required". The value will not change through the program, just be initiated at the beginning based on the answer to the inputbox.

    Defining Constants from InputBox

    I want to have the value for my constant be based off the number from an InputBox, Currently I have this in my code: Option Explicit Dim chan2 As Double, tmes2 As Double Private Sub Form_Load() chan2 = Val(InputBox("How many channels?", "Channels", 16)) + 1 tmes2 = Val(InputBox("How many...
