It's a huge schlep but got a workaround for now. Created a VPC in Windows 7 with Windows XP. Can open and edit the help files in that XP VPC.

But if anybody perhaps have an explanation as to why...

HelpMaker compiled a .chm file that still works even on windows 10. But the HelpMaker program does not want to run on a Windows 7 PC where I need to make alterations to the help files. Just crashes...

Does anybody have an idea how I can run HelpMaker on Windows 7?

I have an old project where the help files were created with HelpMaker. The PC has since been upgraded to Windows 7 and after a heck...

Good or bad, the memo field is what I got available to work with currently.

Using the % sign instead of the * solved the first problem. It is, at least, now finding records.

I created a...

It's how the lynxgrid.clip control returns the entries from the lynxgrid. One long string where rows are separated with vbCR and fields separated with vbTAB.

Yes. AvNum > '' tests for a empty string (text field). AvNum will have a value e.g. A01 if the bird is still in aviaries. Blank AvNum means bird is not in aviaries anymore e.g. sold or dead etc. This...

In the grid the test info will be entered/displayed like this:

179492

In the database the tests field (one single memo field) will look like this for the above:

The code handles it that when an item is clicked in one list its un-selected (if it was selected) in the other list so it's impossible to select the same item in both lists. That part I got working....

I'm having trouble constructing some SELECT statements based on options selected by user at runtime. More to the point how the AND's and OR's must work.

The search criteria will be based on the...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Got it working. At least the ugly highlight jumps around with the selections as they are made:D

Thanks. I was thinking of disabling the listitem in the other listview but just unselecting it there also works. Always over complicating things:D

Just one question. Is there a way to hide the...

I have two ListView controls with checkboxes enabled. Both ListViews have the same entries. The one ListView is for entries that must be included and the second ListView is for entries that must be...

Ok. I see that the Invalid key error message is generated by ListView.ListItems.Item(Item).Checked. Will have to look into that next.

Added to the form and set the Checkboxes property to True and the View property to Report. But I only have one column so no SubItems.

I thought I had no code in ItemCheck yet but see I have tried...

Loading them like this does load without error but still errors (Run-time error 35603: Invalid key) when I click on the checkboxes. No error when I click on the words themselves.

If I put On Error Resume Next before the Do While loop it loads the records into the ListView. I can see them in the ListView but if I select one of them the check mark in the checkbox appear and the...

It's a String in the database e.g. Circovirus or PBFD Virus.

The value is not NULL. While trying to figure out why the error occurred I put a message box on the line before the error line showing...

I'm trying to load two ListView controls with both listing the same entries, one ListView for tests to include and one for tests to exclude. Both the ListViews will only contain 1 column listing the...

Thanks. Problem solved.

I will try this. Did not know that the #'s can be added after the decimal point.

I have numbers that can have up to 13 decimals. I need to display the number in a textbox without any trailing zeros but still display a minimum of 2 decimals even if those two decimals are zeros...

Yes. I'm using your code. As I said earlier I don't think the problem is in your code. Much rather my spaghetti code that is raising the issues.

It's working but having some issues as described...

The button with the pin is to fire a Quick Note module I have to capture some quick notes with/without reminders in my program.

Thanks for the input.

I played around with the order (and where) stuff was loaded and added a little delay before certain code is executed. This got the forms to display much more smoothly now but...

It seem Win7 might be the culprit. It looks like it's the moment Win7 captures an image of the form to display in the preview when the mouse is hovered over the program icon(s) in the taskbar. You...

Ok. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try them out.

Is there a way to prevent a form from displaying anything until all the code in the Form_Load event is finished? Something like say Application.ScreenUpdating = False or such? Or open it in the...

With normal VB buttons it works just fine. Just...

I'm pretty sure the problem is not in your code.

I've activated the buttons in more of my forms and they all run the Form_Activate event on returning to the previous form. It's just when returning...

No Problem. Something seems to hold focus. When I click in one of the fields after the second screen closed the Form_Activate event fires.

Oops. Ran into a snag; Any idea why the form_activate event doesn't run anymore, when returning from a second form, if I load the buttons to the titlebar?

When I disable the buttons load in the...

Ok. Was able to load the Fastlib FWLabel control but doesn't look nice as there is no transparent background. Think at this stage I'll stick to the button.

Don't think this is going to work. The example uses the hWnd of the control and the label control doesn't have that.
