Thanks for your helpful response strongm, I will check my disks and see what I have and make an attempt to get this accomplished. Your response is exactly what I was wanting to get, simple and straightforward

Nobody said I didn't have the MSDN Library disks! If the help files on on those disks, great I had no idea that was the case. I will check and see if I have them and see if I have any luck installing since I have no idea how to accomplish that. As far as I know, the version of Visual Basic 6...

I have been using VB6 for a couple years now (I used VB5 for many years prior). When I started using VB6, I had no help file. I have tried to find a help file that I could use but have been unsuccessful. Is there a Microsoft or after market help file that I can attached to my VB editor to get...

Thank you for the help.

Yes, I did a new install on the new machine. No, I am not having trouble with any other controls on any other of the programs I have written. This is the only program that uses tabctl32.ocx but I had to transfer and register comdlg32.ocx and msflxgrd32.ocx and they worked just fine. I can use...

This has me very bewildered! I wrote a vb5 program a couple years ago on my laptop. I have compiled it many times and edited it many times using the vb5 editor. I upgraded to Windows 10 on that computer and was still able to use and edit the program. That laptop had some issues a few weeks...

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop. I use VB5 to program and have for a long time. When I attempt to use the help file, I am told the help file is not available. This happened when I was using Windows 7 and was able to run a program called winhelp32.exe (I believe this is the name...

I was able to resolve this on my own through some help given by somebody on another, less pompous forum. I am indeed not a professional programmer, merely a hobbyist but I have been doing this for about 20 years now and have written a couple dozen programs that work well, even one which we use...

Do you have a suggestion for a forum that is meant to assist the less technical user with such questions?

I have a recipe program that I would like to export the recipe file to a thumbdrive using a common dialog box. I have done some research and know I need to use commondialog1.showsave which brings up the window where one can select the thumbdrive but not sure how to actually do the save. I also...

I just went and checked it out and these properties are selectable in the programming window when I type a period at the end of my txtList. designation. I was able to determine the cursor position and also insert a character at that position so you have answered my question. I had worked on...

I looked at the properties box in the editor and saw nothing about it but will play around with these properties and see if I come up with something. Thanks!

I read something about the SelStart and SelLength properties and checked but VB5 does not have them. Is there a work-around that you know of?

I have a text box that I am using for input in a recipe program I have written. I need to determine where the cursor is in the text box so I can insert characters when editing the text string. I have done a search and apparently this is possible in later editions of VB but I am using version...

Thanks waytech2003 & xwb! That was my problem all along, I was using the wrong storing format! How can something so simple be so difficult sometimes? Guess that's what one gets when they try to teach themselves anything. At any rate, I thank you and I have learned a huge lesson today that I...

As I said before, this is a simple database. The data is stored by using 'Open #1 As Output/Print' and retrieved by using 'Open #1 As Input/Input'. Does the ',' work in this environment as well?

I have written a program that is basically a simple database to manage data pertaining to a coin collection. I am able to use the program but offered it as a shareware program and I am having people experience 'Type Mismatch' errors. I think it is that these users are entering commas in the...

I have already checked this out by saving as a compiling under a different name as well as in a different directory and both methods work fine. Does this mean that the program must still be open? Is there something other than 'End' that I should do to properly close the program (such as...

As you can probably tell, I am not an experienced programmer but I have written several programs which I use for my own uses as well as one I use at work. I have experienced this same problem in both places. When I try to update my *.exe program by creating a new one, I keep getting the error...

DeltaTech, That is the same thing that came to my mind and I tried that and it would work most of the time for multiple copies but then if I tried a different printout, it would be wrong. Here is something that I have most recently tried and it works even better but I am having trouble...
