Owing to VB6 not having the standard Hyperbolic Trig functions (Sinh, Cosh etc) I have written routines to calculate them from scratch, e.g Sinh(x) = (e^x - e^-x)/2 and Cosh(x) = (e^x + e^-x)/2 However when multiple calculations are required within a loop then the process grinds to a halt as it...

I have a program which uses the Arcsin and Arccos features of the language. I have found that if the value to be converted into an angle is 1 or greater then the calculated value returns as "Nan". If the value is less than 1 then the angle calculates correctly. Is this a known problem and are...

I have downloaded a VB6 program from a source code website. The program uses hundreds of horizontal and vertical lines which can be moved around and made visible or invisible as desired. Unfortunately the original programmer displayed everything on the Form and I have tried to introduce a...

Sometimes when I open an (old) VB6 Project and make changes to a form (e.g form1.frm) instead of saving the changes to form1 the system insists on renaming the form usually to something like 1.frm or &.frm. Is this a sign that the Project has become corrupted and can anything be done to remedy...
