[RESOLVED] i need help with this program i have no clue what to do

You didnt make a mistake, just that Print is a VB function. Used when writing out to Files.

PrintForm is as it says :)

Do you have MSDM library installed?

MSDM? idk i'm just taking an online vb high school course and the books don't tell the info very clearly when it comes to functions strings yada yada yada, i have no help files, VB 6 Working Model Edition but no help files..it's a pain in the arse sometimes

If you have web access make MSDN your friend:

Work your way down tru the left hand panel VB6 etc (it takes alot to root down)
Your looking for VB6 Properties etc

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rview.asp.aspx

Addistionaly, VB6 Programmers Reference Book is fantastic - for offline use. It lists all the Functions etc.

Also, use the Object Browser in the toolbar of VB6 (or, press F2) - give this a go, let us know how you wnet as you could do this right away :)

No kidding. MSDN: Microsoft Developer's Network, or something to that extent. The VS6 library is over a gig, but incredibly useful. Without it, this is the next best source, as we are (mostly) intelligent enough to piece together bits of information and figure out what's needed as a whole.

i'm downloading msdn atm didn't know it was in bits and pieces it will take a couple hours but it looks pretty nice, also how do i add tool tips and it wants me to put in an accumulator how do i do that and how should i show it? maybe to add up all of the total commissions into a label box would work...

Just to make sure, which version are you downloading?
Can you post the link ur using.

those 4 on this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/

something wrong with that? i think i'm just gonna do the vb express edition, guess thats not the libraries....how the hell do i download the library?

That is VB.Net! not VB6.

then what am i supposed to download? be more specific lol

I don't think you can get the VB6 library from MSDN online anymore. Microsoft has cut off support for VS6 in favor of VS2005Express...

that sucks oh well

Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()
lblCom.Caption = "Commision: $" & Round(0.2 * (Val(txtSales.Text) - Val(txtCost.Text)), 2)
cmdPrint.Enabled = True
End Sub

giving me an error again won't allow the cmdPrint.Enabled to work o.o wants to put it as .count/item/ubound/lbound again

i still haven't gotten that figured out anyways how do i add tooltips?

anyone any ideas?

You can buy and OEM Version of MSDN Library October 2001 CD on Ebay - I found it yesterday :)

I don't know if its the COMPLETE documentation, but the VB6 section of the MSDN still exists.

Doh, I'm an idiot - I new it existed... I was there yesterday when I got the URL to add in post #64 above ...

Use the left hand panel and work your way down: Product Documentation / Reference - from here you can select Objects/Properties etc..
