    VBA Spellcheck not working

    I see - thank you for the clarification. But this now gets weirder. I have just got Spellchecked 'catsatonthemat' and got FALSE (which is what I would expect!).

    VBA Spellcheck not working

    Thanks Skip Sorry but I don't understand your answer? Why are letters such as 'c' 'd' and 'e' coming up as true? I also don't want it to be case sensitive - it should recognise 'I' and 'I' both as valid words? What do you mean by aa of bb ?

    VBA Spellcheck not working

    I have a long string (with no spaces) that I am trying to split up into legal words with one space between them. I want it fully automated so am using the attached code to spell check individual words. However, to test this code works ok I have entered the single letters 'a' to 'z' in the...

    How do I move a graphic ?

    I want to put a graphic on the screen and move it left and right using the 'm' and 'n' key (like a ship in space invaders for example). Why doesn't the attached code work (its horribly slow and jerky)? Is there a better way of doing it? Also, how do I load a graphic from elsewhere into my...

    How can I read Excel files from QBASIC?

    I need to read an Excel spreadsheet from my Qbasic program (the speadsheet is just lots of rows of normal data - numbers and text). I have tried various 'save as' options from Excel (e.g. CSV (comma delimited)) to try and get it to a format that Qbasic understands but all I get is 'bad file...

    Do I need to use CLS?

    I'm writing a maze game where you walk through it and looks like 3-d although its only a crude use of the LINE command really. However, evertime I move forward in the maze, I use the CLS command and then redraw all the lines to show the new view. It works but its jerky (i.e. noticeable delay)...
