    NT Server 4.0 Build 1381 Mouse doesn't work

    Dave, Thanks for the response. I looked at my BIOS settings as you suggested, and Com1-4 are set to disabled. I tried changing COM 1 from disabled to COM1 3F8 IRQ4 and to COM2 2F8 IRQ3. Either of these settings causes the message 'Serial Port 1 Resource Conflict' to be displayed when...

    Passing arguments to VB6 executable from Compuware's TrackRecord

    It sounds like TrackRecord is interpreting %f &quot;<Enterprise Code>&quot; as a string instead of a fieldname. For one thing, most development systems don't allow spaces in field names so are you sure <Enterprise Code> is the exact fieldname in TrackRecord>? If so maybe it wants it without the...

    Passing arguments to VB6 executable from Compuware's TrackRecord

    jbeale, You don't want to use the %fieldname parameter. I'm assuming that you don't have the code to read the parameter in your VB project. If not, you need to add this code to your VB startup form to read the parameter from the command line. The function 'Command()' returns the command...

    Using Vb to send email

    I tried the code in the FAQ using the outlook object. This seems to work fine except that outlook pops up with a dialog saying &quot;A program is trying to send an email on your behalf. It could be a virus. Do you want to allow this. &quot; to which a user has to answer yes before sending it. I...

    anything like javascript eval()?

    mmilan, Declaring the variable As Form would work just as well as declaring it As Object, either way should function the same behind the scenes. They both just pass the form's window handle (hWnd). My using object rather than form was totally arbitrary. Ruairi Could your manufacturing...

    anything like javascript eval()?

    Nagrom is right that you cant pass the name of a form this way, but you can pass a refrence to the form using the Me keyword. These changes should fix it: public sub clearTxtBoxes(FormToClear As Object) with FormToClear .txt1 = &quot;&quot; .txt2 = &quot;&quot...

    CR prompting for parameter value when it shouldn't

    I have a report that prints from a VB app through the CR8.5 Report Viewer. There are several subreports that are linked to the main report by parameter values. In all there are 36 parameters (4[ParamsPerSubreport] * 8[Subreports]). For some reason one of these parameters is always prompted for...

    VB6 App &amp; Crystal 8 - Unknown Error

    It is a problem with the runtime files that are being distributed with your app. To put it nicely Crystal Reports dependency files (.dep, the ones that tell the p&d wizard or whatever install program you are using what files are needed) have some problems. To put it more accurately they are crap...

    Women in IT

    Hey all, How about this, there are fewer women in IT because fewer women have the training and skills. The reason for that is simply that less women take the classes or spend the time to learn the skills on their own. Who knows why, thats just the way it is(i don't have hard statictics to...

    Excel VBA: Running a macro after inserting data using DDE

    njitter, MS has been moving away from DDE for a long time. It is an ancient technology. They continue to support running macros when DDE data arrives, although you won't find it in any current docs. In the workbook AutoOpen macro (i think thats what it's called, anyway it's the one that...

    Open excel and workbook with VB

    I'm haven't used IFIX, however this is how you would do it in VB. Any platform that supports VBA should be the same. Dim ObjXL As Excel.Application 'create an instance of excel Set ObjXL = CreateObject(&quot;excel.application&quot;) 'open a workbook ObjXL.Workbooks.Open...
