Hello; I'm trying to identify from visual basic all of the drives install on my system. While GetDriveTypes will identify some drives, it fails to distinquish between DVD and Cd drives and between the various flavors of CD/dvd (CD CDR CDRW) drives. It also does not see Zip drives at all. Any...

Hello; I think I'm looking for the same answer except in my case I'm trying to get a command-line utility (console app?) to return exit codes so that I can use it in a batch file. Unforturnately, the outlook is not looking too good for VB 5.0 since I ran across this from microsoft...

Hello Everyone; I've created a program with an arbitrary resource (a resource but not an icon) included in the exe file and the API functions return a long which is the address to the data. I would like to access this data by using a variable that is an array of bytes. So far my idea is to...

Hello; How can one shut down Internet Explorer 5.5 from VBA-access if one can not use the InternetExplorer control. In other words, if I start IE with the shell command (or one of the API variants), how can get at the program and shut it down? I tried using the InstanceID to get a Hwnd handle...

Hello Everyone; I'm trying to get a web page to display on an Access97 form and so far I'm finding nothing but gotchas. Office 97 (or is it part IE3.0) comes with the WebBrowser control but it fails with my system which has IE5.5. Apprently the file in question (shdocvw.dll) is replaced by...

Hello; My friend is having a problem with MSWord 95 when she tries to use spell check. The checker seems to work fine thru most of the document (1 page, about 10 to 20 typos) but hangs (or seems to) towards the end of the PROCESS. The word process was deliberate - if she starts at the beginning...

Hello; When I've tried any of the ActiveX controls mentioned so far, I keep running into the license wall. I'm curious as to whether people who have used these controls found a way around this problem or have received a license from some other source. For example, at work I use MSCOMCTL.ocx in...

Hello Kevin; I assume that you are running Excel 95 or Excel 97 and that the macro is not an Excel 4 macro but a VBA function. If so, this ought to work for you: Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application") With objXL.Application .Visible = True .ScreenUpdating =...
