Hi rclarke250! The netsh winsock reset fixed part of the problem. I can now access the microsoft.com website. However, I still get a "server not found" error message when I try to get to norton.com. Strange.... Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your help!

Hi goombawahoo, Thanks for the reply. I upgraded to XP sp3 now, but I want to resolve the connection issue before upgrading to Win 7 Pro. As per your request I did an ipconfig /all. Here are the results: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp...

I purchased a used computer with Windows XP sp2 and connected it to the internet. I have both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome as browsers. Most websites (like amazon) connect fine, but when I try to connect to websites like Microsoft.com or Norton.com I get a server not found error. Could...

Does anyone know a way to disable the Print(/Export) button on a VB6 datareport?

Thanks, Hypetia! This works great for what I need. Super-Star!

I have used ShellExecute to print and open files, but is there a way to stop/close a running VB6 exe that was started using a Shell function? I have a main VB program that launched an exe using the Shell function (not ShellExecute). So far, everythings fine. What I want to do is have a way to...

I am trying to allow a user to enter a value into a textbox on a modeless (non-modal) form. Because of other background events occurring, the form must be non-modal. The form displays correctly, and I have loaded labels with no problem, but I cannot get focus on the textbox long enough to enter...

I am trying to assign an image file (.jpg and .emf) to an image control that I have on a VB6 Datareport. From the MSDN help files I've seen, there is not a lot of info. Primarily, they say it is similar to the normal Visual Basic image control. When I run the code using the same syntax, I get an...

Can anyone tell me a way to have a Type 2 combobox (VB6) open it's dropdown list when the control receives focus (instead of having the user click the down arrow of the control to open it). Thanks!

I have an old application (DOS) that ran in a command window in Windows 98 that used a special driver to communicate with the COM1 port. The application required the driver to be declared in CONFIG.SYS (example): DEVICE=C:\COMMDRV.ONE 4096,1 Due to hardware problems, I am moving the...

Thanks, HughLerwill! That seems to work.

I am using the following code to print a .pdf file to my default printer in VB6, which works correctly, but it leaves an empty Acrobat Viewer window open even after the application closes. Does anyone know how to force this window to close through code? (OS: WinXP SP3) code example: Call...

Thanks, Mirko. This API call worked like a charm, the text file is printing on command now. Much appreciated! John

I have a PC running Win NT4 (sp6) that runs a VB6 procedure that sends a standard text file to a local printer (lpt1). Shell "cmd /c type C:\MYFILE.TXT > LPT1" My helpful hardware support group has replaced the local printer with a network printer and the text file no longer prints. I made...

Can you pass a 2 dimensional string array in the argument list of a VB6 function call? If so, what should the signature look like?

I was able to locate a copy of scrrun.dll on another NT4.0 workstation that is running the same service pack version of the problem PC. I was able to register that copy on the problem PC. All the VB6 programs fire up fine now with no error messages. Thanks for all your help and advise.

Thanks for that detailed explanation. I have other NT 4.0 workstations that have not had this install done. If I take a copy of the scrrun.dll from one of them and try registering that version on the problem NT station, do you think that would work? If not, any ideas of where I might look for...

I have installed a new VB6 package using Setup.exe as I have done many times before. However, I did the installation on an NT 4.0 PC and received and error after the installer told me that some of the system files were too old and that I could click "Yes" to continue and it would update the...

I have an unusual situation in which I have a VB6 application that has printed data reports to a shared laser printer in NT 4.0 from a small group of PC's for several years. Now I have one of those PC's that will suddenly stop sending the output to the printer. However, there is no error message...
