    MaxLength in TextBox not working

    Try copying the text box from the form that works and pasting it to the one that doesn't. And, of course, blow away the offending text box and then rename the new text box to the name of the old one. That way you know you are getting absolutely a text box that is identical to the one that is...

    Which is better ' rs("fieldName") ' or ' rs!fieldName ' ?

    I like the rs!fieldname syntax much better. It is easier to read and can use with "with". Having said that, like most things in BG's world, it doesn't matter what I like! If .net likes the more difficult syntax, so be it. I doesn't matter that I have tons of existing code using the...

    Style vs Idiot-Proofing

    Excellent point regarding "mission critical" vs not. Requirements and related schedules dictated to programmers definitely need to be driven by whether or not the app is mission critical. This should also influence skill levels of programmers placed on the project. If you want it...

    Style vs Idiot-Proofing

    Ok all, ponder this........ How often are we torn between finding "a way" to do something and finding the "best way" to do it? And, how much time should be dedicatd to looking for the "best way". I know that I may wade through "help" VB manuals for...

    Style vs Idiot-Proofing

    I really hate to wade in on this, but what the heck? Show me 2 programmers and I'll show you 2 styles. Show me 5 programmers and I'll see 5 styles. Show me 2 things written by the same programmer, but, say written a year apart, and I'll see 2 styles. I know that my style changes as I better...

    Sorting recordsets

    You can also sort the recordset after you have it: rsRecordset.Sort = "FieldName" As far as it being in varchar, you may have to convert that field to a date in your SQL statement. That way you will be returning a date and then the sort will be ok. I'm pretty sure you can convert to...
