dialog interface and its capabilities 1

[psijack]

i wanted to add a control array to the dialog box i was making. that didnt seem to work.. i tried to add a sub procedure but that caused a bug. am i correct in assuming that the dialog box is fairly lackluster and barebones? thanks

How are you doing this? As a macro? Or from Access?

from a macro inside an extra session. i dont have access to access here. these guys are pretty cheap.

If that is the case, you are very limited in what you can do. I recommend getting a copy of Access and doing it from there.

It's WELL worth the money!

could i do this in vb6@home and bring it to work to have the extra session use *that* dialog box somehow? i assume it would be as easy as dim mydiag as dialog and even if it has the control array built-in it still should work right?? if i can do this right, 90% of what i have to type would be reduced to a few mouse clicks.

Sure can. I'm not fluent in VB6, so I just use VBS... but in theory, you should be able to build a package into VB and have the macro call it.
