    Arcsin in VB6 [Resolved]

    Hi,

    There is no built-in function for Arcsin in VB6.

    However, the MSDN Help files state that the following will produce the arcsin

    Arcsin(X) = Atn(X / Sqr(-X * X + 1))

    I cannot believe this formula is correct (probably my misunderstanding of something) as when x = 1 there is a division by zero error.

    Can anyone help please.

    The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus

    The foregoing, whilst believed to be correct, is given without guarantee as to it's accuracy and entirely without recourse. You are required to decide for yourself whether or not it is suitable for your purposes and no liability for loss of any nature can be entertained.
