Hi folks, I have a project the loads and runs fine on computer #1. When I move the project file to a second computer with exactly the same file path, I get loading errors related to not being able to find mscomctl.ocx registered in the exact same file path (i.e., my project's file path -- odd...

George, Pretty sure windows firewall is off on both machines. Didn't help. An IT guy I know said that at my hospital, we're running under a "domain." Does that make connection strings work better? I'm a bit of a newb so, please forgive. Thanks Mark [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Folks, I've got a problem. I have an app that connects to MSSQL Server 2005 and 2008 just fine whether they're (the instances of the databases and MSSQL Server) on the same computer with the app, or on a separate server, with the following connection string: strConnectString =...

I have 3 windows 10 pro computers and a dell server running windows server 2012. I have 2 copies of MS SQL Server on the server and 1 of the computers. Now I have a VB6 program that when I run it on the computer with SQL Server and "aim" it at the databases on the computer, It works just fine...

Folks, I am trying to write an app that analyzes stock data in real time. Is there anywhere you know that will supply a stream of real-time stock data for free or a reasonable fee? I would only want to track a few stocks. Thanks, Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Er, It was dillatente who posted that.... Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Hugh and especially dilettante, The "fixing the MS..." document was perfect for fixing my problems on my 32 bit XP machine. Thank both of you for your help! Stars. Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

HughLerwill posted this in a similar post at this time, and I am reposting it as a solution to my problem. It worked perfectly, even if it is "going around your butt to get to your elbow...." 32 Bit Windows 1. Unregister the new OCX file. Open an instance of the Windows Command Prompt, paste...

Hugh, Would you explain what you mean by I am having the same problem.... Thanks, Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Has anyone noticed the nasty error messages "Object library not loaded" or some such lately, after updating Windows XP? I had to re-install my whole hard disk which I had luckily copied a couple weeks ago which fixed the problem. Then windows "updated" and the problem returned! Arrrgggghhh...

Wow! That prompted a debate.... What I'm REALLY trying to do is to prove within my code that the data I THINK I wrote to a record is the data that I DID write. What I'm actually doing is: 1) writing the data. 2) reading back the data I just wrote. 3) comparing the read-back to the original...

Dear folks, I am trying to get used to using "checksum" to determine if my data transfers to my database are correct and complete. Would someone please write the very, very, very simplest algorithm to illustrate how this is done? Let's say we're going to write "Hello" to a record in a...

CP60 Answers to your questions (and I'm sorry I worded the bit you quoted so poorly; I meant to say "...no code in the scroll event....": how many records? variable 1 to 1000 or more... They are MSHFlexGrids, V 6.0, SP4 The grids are not bound ever to any DB functions. I load them the hard...

CP60 Thanks you. I do that actually. I have a ton of little "mini" apps that deal with just one thing. My favorite is "date and time" which I always have a problem remembering how to syntactically write..... But I don't think that's going to help in this case because NOTHING is in the...

CP60 Thank you. Most of the scroll events are empty. I just added: DoEvents to most of them and that helped, but didn't entirely eliminate the problem ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Folks, You haven't heard from me in awhile because I am on my 69th revision of my first app installed in my hospital. It's going well, thanks to many of you! But I have somewhat of a niggling problem I can't fix: When I click the down or up arrows on my flexgrid scroll bars, sometimes the...

Folks, I store a date in my MS SQL Server 2005 as a date type. My query goes something like: "SELECT * from mytable ORDER BY [date]" But the order I get looks like this: 8/1/2011 8/13/2011 8/2/2011 8/5/2011 (notice that 8/13 should come after 8/2 and 8/5...) etc., so it is ordering by the...

Folks, Is there a way to write a program that can "watch" what another program is doing, or more specifically, what the user is doing with the program, and then do events accordingly? I know this sounds like a keylogging program, and to some extent it is, but I'm not talking about...

You know, I knew this was probably very simple and it was. Administrator privileges "were not enabled" on the two PC's, thus the "denial" to find a path. The problem is solved. Thanks anyway, Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

I know this isn't the best forum to post this problem, but I thought there would be a ton of you who use Installshield. I have version 11.5 express. I'm getting an error when installing on some (but not all) of my PC's: All of the InstallShield forums say I need to change the cache path to...
