Where do you store your VBP files ?
Do you store all of the related files in that same folder ?

Where do you store your programs (VBP files etc) ?
I have this folder C:\VB\

I never start the IDE directly, except when starting a...

OOPs wrong thread

I use XP Pro, and have for a very long time.
My VB6 IDE started deteriorating over a period of months, and eventually was so irritating that I determined to fix it.
I tried rollbacks etc, but to no...

In Australia ALL new smart phones use 4G (aka LTE I think).
Australia still has 3G, and phones can revert to that (EG when I call my friend, both of our phones revert to 3G whilst we are on the...

If you polled all of the experienced VB6 programmers, I reckon there would be very few using the Data Control.
Your choice, but I would recommend learning to use pure ADO code instead.
You will get...

Is there a difference between HTML Help and Win hlp ?
If there is, then the integrated help in VB6 appears to be HTML help, and not win hlp

I started learning VB with VB3, so I doubt that I changed the default saving method.
I had no problem loading all of my VB3 projects into VB4.
Yup, all the extra VB3 controls/dependencies that I...

Hi JA,
Regarding the changes mentioned in your last post (I have included your quote).
Did you update the version that you attached in Post 6 ('TestEdit2.zip' a non FSO version) ?

Thanks,
Rob

That got voted 5 out of 5 by 260 members
Must be close to a record in PSC ?

This may not help solve your problem, but whilst it is still in my 77 year old memory, I will pass it on -
VB3 was 16 bit
If you still have the source code for those programs, you could upgrade...

Could you place (move) the form.Left to -99999 and then place it back in the visible area of the screen, when it is ready ?

I probably know less about Resource files, than Sam did when he opened this thread.
So I thought I should store the link to this thread, in case I ever need to delve into the subject.

That appears to only apply to Vista and more recent.
I do all my VB6 development in my XP 32bit PC
But thanks for responding,

Victor Bravo,
That looks interesting.
Could it capture to JPG as well ?

You have wasted a lot of people's time, by asking vague question with no attempt to provide full details of what you were doing.
And repeatedly ignoring requests to provide such details (and an...

I am not grasping what you mean with 'The client area of the form is the one that is bigger'

Could you attach your project (for 2 reasons) -
1) I have tried to make a form bigger than the screen in the past, and have never succeeded. Thus I am curious as to how you did that.
2) We can...

PS Did you take out that contract with the super programmer ?...

Are you being sympathetic for the dead animal ?
Or is your spelling faulty, and you are saying to dilettante - 'poor dear'

I have not been a 'lister' at softpedia, but it is my go to site to download stuff without any bundled crap or viruses.

Sam has hit the nail on the head.
You must learn the ability to clearly express your problem and needs, without cluttering it with your expected/suspected solutions.

Shirley, you could knock up a (Very) stripped down version of your project, and attach it ?

Anyone using this (or using Fred's latest PSC version) will find (to their dismay) that it does not work in Windows Server.
