    Can vbNullString be used in VBA as well as VB4-6?

    Yes. I just tested it with Access 2003. Public Function vbNullStringTest() Dim s As String If s = vbNullString Then s = "It works" Else s = "It fails" End If Debug.Print s End Function Immediate Window: ?vbNullStringTest() It works

    Force VB to work with Access db just opened with GetObject

    This solution will always have the problem you describe. Shell() returns the task number for a stub process used by Windows to start the application specified, not the application itself. In other words, it returns the task ID for Shell() process, not the targeted program. As you discovered...

    How do I set the system time?

    The mail server's time stamp is off. I assume that it uses the system time, but I can not remember how to set that.

    How do I use a parameter to select or establish a Group Sort?

    IdoMillet (Instructor) I must be missing something. In regardless of the sort selection, all three metrics are summarized. I can only envision this working if I could ignore two of the metrics. What am I missing? Could you show some code? (Sorry, I'm not usually this dense.) JP

    Extract string from a variable name

    I misunderstood your intent. My apologies. My only excuse ist that, absent body language and intonation, intent is so easily construed. I do believe that a tutorial on the writing of Add-Ins is beyond the scope of this forum. I have yet to see the topic covered in under 40 pages. The reason I...

    Extract string from a variable name

    strongm (MIS) >And why do you think that IDE Add-Ins are beyond the scope of this forum? Or do you just mean your specific add-in code? Why do feel the need to be insulting in your reply?

    Calling Function from another Form

    By now I think you understand that the function must be public or called by a routine on the form that is public. What gets tricky is setting a variable on one form from another. If you need to do that, you must set a reference to the specific instance of the targeted form on the form that will...

    visual basic mail merge (access and word)

    Are you using early binding? You establish that through the Project/References menu. In the References dialog select "Microsoft Word x Library". The "x" is the level of Word on your machine. Office 2000 uses "Microsoft Word 9 Object Library". Next declare an...

    Data Transfer

    You need to give a more detailed explanation the problem. It sounds to me like you have to syncronize the data from one table in a database with the data from a table in another database. Further, it sounds like some of the fields are identicle, i.e. they have the same data type and...

    Can this be automated?

    >Thank you very much. You are welcome. I enjoyed figuring this out. A couple of things have come to mind since I posted this code. First, If Event Details portion were to contain a comma as part of the text, that would throw the Split() off. I would recommend a tilde "~" for the...

    You vFilePathIn assignment will never work. It looks like you are trying to make some kind of pick-list and hand to the FSO's FileExist method for evaluation. The FileExist's filespec parameter requires a string that specifically identifies one file. Wild cards are not supported, otherwise one...

    VB 6 and Access 7--Provider Not Found

    I'm not sure what version "Access 7" means. If it is an Office 2000 MDB, then Jet 3.51 will not read it. You need Jet 4.0 installed. MDAC_EXE no longer has JET. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=af693865-2bab-4ae5-b001-42840473ef39&DisplayLang=en will get you...
