ACCESS has a problem reading files in that it assumes after the first 20 or so records, it assumes the rest of the file is the same. Well, most of my files have few fields in the first few records and data flows in fields 16-60 after line 25. I have taken the files, pushed them through Excel, then into ACCESS and it works all the time with the varying field widths. There is a thread out here about that problem with no resolution except adding a dummy record1 with 60 fields to each... - Tues, Sep 21 2004 8:48 am 2 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/3e89d54dfcbae93d Find Method - 6 new ---------------------------------- Hi, When I find a record (product) I want to cross reference another table (Product History) using .Find method.

Use a Picture Box instead of a Label and justify your text line by line. It requires a bit of code to do it, but the TextOut and SetTextJustification APIs will help you.

For example: 1.23456789E-13 to 1.23E-13. Rounding or truncating will work for me. If I use the Round() function, it just rounds to zero because it is such a small number.

Some help, please? - 2 new ---------------------------------- ... ... Yep. Quicksort is of course quite a bit faster on long lists. By the way, your current code uses LockWindowUpdate on its own (without also using List1.Visible = False as I had suggested). In order to gain speed and to eliminate flicker (with code that uses DoEvents in the loop) you need to use * both* of them. You need "List1.Visible = False" to speed up VB's updating of the ListBox and you need to also LockWindowUpdate in order to eliminate flicker. Adding List1.Visible = False to your existing code will speed up ... - Tues, Sep 21 2004 11:44 am 2 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/a317e27d0402f556 MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO NET PROFESSIONAL 2003 (DVD), MSDN Library for Visual Studio .Net 2003 [3 CDs], MSDN Subscriptions Index for September 2004, other - all new ---------------------------------- MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO NET PROFESSIONAL 2003 (DVD), MSDN Library for Visual Studio .Net 2003 [3 CDs], MSDN Subscriptions Index for September 2004, other MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO NET PROFESSIONAL 2003 DVDR ...

In order to support Lotus Notes, will the control have to be VIM-compliant? Could anyone suggest a control? It would be great if the control supported VB.NET or Java, but VB 6 is the minimum.

Seems like I'd read somewhere that the Form Icon is the very first thing in the file. If I could edit the .FRX and drop the first X bytes, where X is the length of the Icon, then go through the .FRM and subtract X from nnnn on every Main. frx:nnnn reference, I wonder if that would work.

I think I found the general problem, but can't find a fix yet. It turns out my VB program is not ending properly. It uses the MS Internet Transfer Control.

I don't know what languages might impose a string length limit of 255. I wouldn't assume that this is a common limit ( though, I suppose, in theory, it "could" be ). For instance, Fortran has no such limit. The only limit is imposed by the compiler writer ( in this case, it's a compiler implementation limit ) or by the operating system. The language itself imposes no limit. Since Basic was originally formulated using Fortran as it's model... I would tend to doubt that Basic ( in general ) imposes limits either. I would expect... - Tues, Sep 21 2004 11:16 pm 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/45c75bd22204aca6 ======================================================================= You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "comp.lang.basic.visual.misc". comp.lang.basic.visual.misc http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Change your subscription type & other preferences: * click http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/subscribe Report abuse: * send email explaining the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: * click http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/subscribe ======================================================================= Google Groups: http://groups-beta.google.com
