I have to rethink some of what I am planning. Even if I achieved it, the result would definitely be slower than using a straight byte array. As I've said before, the only reason for giving up speed...

So trying with Variant...supposed to be 16 bytes...

I predict that the speed decrease using an array of bytes carved up into the individual bits as I've done will be significantly slower. I can think of another way of doing it (amazing how...

You will find in your quest for the best search algorithm that speed must be sacrificed in order to save on memory requirements. Hoever, the loss of speed at execution inherent with storing data in...

Those lines are at the start of your .frm file but the IDE doesn't normally show them to you. Something has gone wrong when you have copied the files. Are you confident of your network connection...

Don't forget that the location of the EXE is irrelevant to the machine attempting to launch it. Well as long as the remote PC has correct rights etc.

The exe will be running on the PC that...

There are several standards for date/time in use. Generally UNIX date/time is recorded as the time in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. (UTC is just a new name for GMT really)

Windows...

A hashtable is of dubious value when as you suggest there may be billions of positions. A billion x 37 bytes is still a large chunk of memory/disk (whatever) to be searching. About 37GB right? I...

The easiest way to figure out what is missing is to follow the instructions when a form fails to load. It tells you that a form.log file was generated for you to troubleshoot the problems.

In...

You need to break your problems down into smaller chunks and then you will see that there are in fact two separate issues you are trying to address.

Firstly, there is nothing wrong with nested...

Your lecturer may be hoping you will discover what UDT's are.

Array's of UDT's are in common use in all of the Windows API. They are equally useful in situations such as yours.

To hint at...

Because the windows key annoys me when gaming, I solved the problem by ripping it off my keyboard :)

An option if your file is simply a list of numbers (one number to a line in the file). This code will help you as a starting point. The code doesn't care what the list contains. It looks at each...

You need to type InStr in the IDE then press F1. You will get full instructions I think.

If you type this in the debug window then you should understand more OK?

Debug.Print InStr(1,"AM I...

Unless you really need it in your application you should not plan to implement any multithreading until you understand what the following API call smean:

WaitForSingleObject...

Use InStr instead of the equality test in your code.

InStr will allow you to determine whether one string is found anywhere in another string. If you are not case sensitive then change both...

techman,

Did you get any solution to this? I wish to hide Powerpoint for the simple fact that a late bound powerpoint.application object really doesn't like being told to open a presentation IF...

Unfortunately I think I did not explain properly.

Nevertheless I have confirmed on three other machines that my simple test fails. Furthermore, you cannot even seem to open a presentation while...

Can anyone perform a quick test for me? I am getting an error when setting the Visible property of a late bound Powerpoint object to false.

The version of Powerpoint is 8b (may not be important)...

I am looking for a similar piece of information and funnily enough my search found your question which mentioned my name :) woohoo

So if you found a solution please let me know as I am still...

Hehe

Well it seems pretty simple when you put it like that..Thanks for the explanation...

I'll go back to the drawing board.

Just took a look at your code again to try to figure out why you need to worry at all...and you know what?

I can't see why you use DateDiff to get seconds when you want days anyhow. If you use...

Sorry - typos due to trying to do too many things at once.

You're trying to get someone to write it for you - ahh now I see.

If I wasn't so busy here at work I'd try helping you out. Why not...

Do you need help just to know when a leap year is? Or do you need help to code?

If it's just leap years, I can tell you that:
A leap year is any year evenly divisible by 4 yet not divisible by...

Been a while since I was in these here parts...I'm hoping for a solution to my little problem here:

In investigating a solution for a customer requirement, I looked at Word97's ability to connect...

I actually came looking for my own answers, but your question was interesting.

I didn't realise how to go about working out the length of a sine wave because my rather literal interpretation re:...

Thanks for the reply.

Love the site...just needed that vital piece of quick info I know is in the archives :)

I've solved my problem another way for the moment so no worries.

Good luck...

Sorry John, but even a work in progress needs to have a search facility...

I haven't been on for a while and to suddenly find I can't search is a pain.

But then, it's free so I have nothing...

Hi Jop,

After optimising a count only version of your GetAll Files, and comparing this to the loop I already had using dir(), I found that it took the dir() loop 61seconds to count a dir of about...

I will compare results (speed wise) and post back.

The problem that I didn't mention is that there are tens of thousands of files on these servers which represent transmissions from a broadcast...

Hey all,

I've been away for quite a while working on other projects and all of my VB resources are at home at the moment.

Can anyone give me the fastest way to determine the number of files in...

Changing the CopyMem emulated the fix I recommended.

Your decalre for GetExplicitEntriesFromAcl is wrong I
believe so it's up to you if you want to take another look
again or not.

I already...

Sadly I have not had time to do all of that ICQ stuff at home.

I find the pace of ICQ or other real-time chat mechanisms to frenetic for my liking.

Plus I can't use it from work so it would be...

Nope. Except in your other post. Is it by the same game creator? OR is it a port to computer or something?

Cheers

You can switch off the fighting in MOO2. In fact I think the default is Off.

There's a small chance that my memory is mixing up games here but if the screen I am thinking of is in MOO2 then the...

Possibly "Left Set" because we are simply copying the contents of one UDT to another but are Left Aligning the members.

Well, that's my guess :)

If you've never used it before then you have been missing out on something when dealing with UDT's...

The simple example below does what you want. Lset acts as the Union at runtime. It is...

If you only have simple data types (as per your example), then LSet is safer than CopyMemory and LSet is ideally suited for exactly what you want to do. I use it for doing any Long to Integer to...

To emulate this, you'd need to get a friendly C++ programmer to code it up. Not that hard I imagine...as long as all the types you might want to use are already known.

To emulate it (well not...
