Hey y'all,I need to fill in PDF files. There is a product available that does thid for the backflow community but I do not have it nor does it do the other half of things I do. (It is not especially user-friendly either.) I do backflow testing and calibrate test kits and pressure gauges. That m...

Here's a little code snippet to demonstrate. Declare MyArray as an array, i as an integer, and pKeywords as a string.pKeywords = "VB,OO,C#,Delphi", MyArray = Split(pKeywords, ",", -1, 1) If UBound(MyArray) > 0 Then For i = 0 to UBound(MyArray) '...do something with MyArray(i)... NextEnd If
As part of an application I am trying to program, I need to find out the users internet IP address. As some of you no doubt know, their are two seperate IP address on systems connected to a LAN or the like, one for the LAN, and one for the internet connection if there is one. How do I find out the Internet one?
Is there any way to reference the BDE in my Visual basic 6.0 project so that I can access Paradox data and create ADO recordsets, execute queries, etc.?, , Thanks, Juan
Hi Juan,
I hope all is going well!!! I just wanted to add to this old thread for those that end up here via a search. No, there is no easy way to work with the BDE with VB6. You could do it, but it would be a ton of work and totally not worth it.
Instead, you can use an ODBC driver to access your Paradox tables from any non-BDE application including VB, Access, etc. The best ODBC Paradox driver in my opinion is still the Paradox ODBC driver tha...
Hi every body
I was able to designate an access Database as a custom source to a textbox to accomlish autocomplete property of the textbox. The problem is when I enter the first letter of a word I get about 15 autocomplete suggestions while in the DB there are more than 50 words beginning with that letter. Is there a way to make the whole words displayed in the autocomplete pop up box.
Thanks for your help
Hi,Am using classic VB (5) and I would like to ba able to read the windows registration number. This is the one you see when you look at the properties of "My Computer".Anyone know of an API or other type of solution?Thanks,Bart,
Hey,Thanks for the reply. Am just investigating a bit on this topic. A client was asking about how to secure an app I am working on. The extreme solution is a hardware dongle, but a less intensive solution would be to use a unique number on a PC that could be used to generate a public key etc. I would need to be able to read this value programatically.A bad aid solution while doing a beta release is to just kill the code if rolls past a hardcoded...

I need to read data out of an Access 2.0 file format file from VB6 this has to be compiled and redistributed as part of a database upgrader, licensing constraints and the end user desktops prevent the use of a VBA runtime.
Thanks in advance
Hey y'all,I need to fill in PDF files. There is a product available that does thid for the backflow community but I do not have it nor does it do the other half of things I do. (It is not especially user-friendly either.) I do backflow testing and calibrate test kits and pressure gauges. That means filling out forms for county offices with a lot of the same data on them from year to year. Sometimes there are several devices per customer. These are scanned PDF forms from the counties (have to be their original, typed format - computer printed is okay). Calibration data sheets are currently in Excel - spreadsheets formatted to print out for the customer. I fill these out after a test. Copy and paste tends to lead to errors and boredom. Takes too long too!--> You can guess that I do a lot of typing over - because the data for test reports, calibration sheets, quotes and billing is not easy to put into the form where it ultimately goes. It can be stored together, ...
I uave Visual Studio with MSDN ver 6 installed on my main PC (W2K) and have to interface with a 16 bit DLL for a product that I am using. The product developers tel me that VB4 in 16 bit mode is required to access the DLL, since it was written in that mode (quite a while ago). I'd llike to upgrade the interface software but it would cost me about $500!I have VB4 and wonder if I can put it on the computer also - hence the question about having both VB4 and VS6 installed at the same time. Or should I use a different box then just copy the .exe when I have it ready?Thanks,Bill Allen678-717-8590allenbh *at* alltel.net
Hi Mike,Happy Easter!Thanks for the great reply! I want to avoid confusion or overwriting of controls, DLL's or other objects. A VB4 package is on its way (cheap$) and I will be time travelling to the past soon enough. I will make sure it installs in a distinctly separate folder.Thanks,Bill

Hello, , I am sure that this is going to be a simple problem to fix, but I have just started a very steep learning curve with Visual Basic 6 in that I have to alter a program that has already been written, and I am a complete novice to VB., , What I need to do is to read in a text file which has multiple lines. The information that is read in then has to be displyed in a text box for the user to read. i.e. one line in the text file should appear as one line in the text box. Is there a simple way of achieving this, or can someone point me in the right dircetion for finding a solution., , Thank you for your time., , Gary Park
