VB Trick 80

If you have adware/spyware then the popups are not being generated by the browser but by the adware/spyware - which the google toolbar blocks popups from the browser only. So you may want to scan your system for adware/spyware.

(just incase anyone was wondering - I've had SP2 installed for 19 days had not had any problems with any of my existing software - 'Doesn't hurt to try SP2 you have the ability to uninstall SP2 in control panel if infact you do have problems'))

SP2 installed and runs fine at work and at home. No problems installing except at home - I didn't disable SpySweeper first. Just had to start over with it disabled, then OK. 10% have problems, though...

CTRL+Page UP = goes to the beginning of the previous function or sub
CTRL+Page Down = goes to the beginning of the following funtion or sub

 

[vbSun]

While Ctrl+Up Arrow and Ctrl+Down Arrow also allows you to move through procedures and subs, it keeps the cursor on the first line after the procedure declaration.

One little trick if you align controls a lot.

Lets do a left align as a sample.

Select the controls you want to left align.
In the properties pane, tripple click the Left Property.
You are done!

vbSun - can't figure out how to make the triple-click work in VB or in Access - I must be missing something. Are you talking about aligning controls on a form?
Thanks

YOu have to triple-click the left column where it says 'Left' and not where you enter the value of the Left property.

 

[NorthNone]

AH! Click on top of the word "Left" !!!!
Thanks bjd4jc

P.S. Works in VB but not in Access forms from what I see.

Microsoft word, type in 5 dashes or underscores for example and hit the enter key. Creates a line with the dash or underscore. I works with = and + also.

closing a project node in PE closes all the open windows of that project ( so you dont have to close them one by one )

Not necessarily my favorite, but not mentioned here ....

whilst in design mode or focus in the properties window.

ctrl-shift letter will take you to the property starting with that letter, e.g. ctrl-shift-c takes you to Cancel, then Caption, then Causesvalidation

Entering 2005!

From Win2k, Microsoft has introduced a new feature in standard message box that was not present before. I think this feature is not documented in Windows Help.

You can copy the contents of the message box to the clipboard. This feature is very useful for reporting errors and other information for assistance.

When you see a message box, just press the standard 'Copy' shortcuts, viz Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert to copy the message on the clipboard.

A sample message looks like this when copied as text.
