    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    Re: need good licence system

    I've been using QLM (Quick License Manager?.. ) for at least 10 years. It's clean & easy. It works -- at least the older version that I'm using. I haven't upgraded in many years because what I have...

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    Back on the slow build topic--

    I have good news & bad news to report.

    The good news is that I made a few changes and the build time went from about 01:20:00 to about 00:02:30. Wow! I'm stunned....

    I see that si_the_geek also has something about line numbering that you may find useful. It may be more modern and have more options than what I use.

    I got this numbering thing many...

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    Thanks Krool. I wouldn't have thought of doing that to someone else's .exe.

    I added your VisualStylesAndRequireAdmin.res to VB6 and rebooted but the VB IDE still has the classic style. Maybe the...

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    I don't know how to compare "big". I'm a solo developer and I don't see others' code. Check my reply to Max187Boucher at 05:08 today for some detail.

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    Something that may or not be related to the slow build problem:

    Since the advent of XP, I've copied the same VB6.exe.manifest file into the \VB98 folder so the IDE would assume the XP style. On...

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    Good point. The build runs from a batch file that adds line numbers and then builds the .exe. The line numbering phase works as expected. I'll set the .bat to run as admin and report back.

    Re: VB6 build slow on Win 7

    I had to do something at about 1:05 of the build. When I returned at 1:30, it was complete. There may have been an improvement in the build time with the Win 7 compatibility setting but it's...

    Desktop composition is disabled on vb6.exe. I've had trouble with that before.

    [RESOLVED] VB6 build slow on Win 7

    It seems this might have been a common question but a search of the forum doesn't find anything.

    Microsoft says VB6 is supported on Win 7 (x86 only) to I tried it. The IDE works fine but the build...

    This has been resolved. It was a careless error on my part.

    The variable szComputerName was returned from an API call and I forgot to remove the trailing null terminators, so the closing quote at...
  15. Re: How can I get the last row number of MS Access database table into a Text Box?

    I may be mistaken and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Count() returns the number of records in the result set but that "row number" isn't necessarily the same as the last row added. I...
