    Return the text of a VBA function

    >why would you want it? Maybe to pop up a message saying "Error in MyFunction" in an error trapping routine; but I think there is no way other than hardcoding it.

    Show DB data in MaksEdBox

    Sorry Andy but I get no error when I run the code from a command button click. The required format is shown when the MaskedEditBox (MEB) does not have focus, when it does have focus the plain unformatted number is shown. Tested (and re-tested) using a new Form with a new Command button, a new...

    SORT item in combobox

    Microsoft to get more "pushy" about upgrades to Win X

    Seems like the pony got out of the stable a long time ago regarding cell phones, then smart phones and now the Internet of Things, so what exactly is the big privacy deal regarding the few remaining desktop pcs when many of them will be talking to a smart phone or your refrigerator anyway. We've...

    Is Office 2016 available on CD/DVD

    Is Office 2016 available (in UK) on CD/DVD, I can only seem to find download licence keys. If yes some links would be good. I'm looking for Pro but could manage with Home and Biz. TIA

    Why am I still getting updates for XP

    Microsoft Security Essentials continues to work (as best it can I guess, albeit with constant nags that the OS is unsupported) and continues to be updated.

    Problem with the DBGrid32.ocx from 2010

    >I'm not so sure about that... Hmmm that's interesting because I have a personal use app with the option of applying the manifest to itself at run time(to make use of Common Controls 6) ; i.e. you click an option in the app, the manifest file is generated on the fly, and then the app restarts...

    Problem with the DBGrid32.ocx from 2010
