I've got a Visual Basic 6.0 application which connects via OLEDB to a
Microsoft Access 2002 data source.

One of my customers based in Germany has complained that it's not
working properly. It turns out that the query to update the database
uses VB boolean variables, but instead of putting True and False it's
putting Wahr and Falsch.

VB seems OK with this, but Access unfortunately is not - it thinks
Whar and Falsch are variables or something.

To further complicate matters I can't replicate the issue on my
machine - when I switch to a German language my VB is still putting in
True and False, although dates in the GUI are in German.

Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a simple solution? I
suppose I could convert True and False to 1 and 0, but it looks like a
lot of work to do that.

Thanks!

there is no Stdpicture selection in the Object Browser
drop down list.
"S" options start with ScaleModeOptions
and ends with String.

What do I have to do to enable StdPicture?

matches my age and since this year I’m so close to the big 50 I
decided to make it a 50%% off discount.

From now till Sunday August 31st any order place will receive the 50%%
discount. This includes:
• All stock items, Icons, logos, and logo packages
• Any custom design, logos, boxes, icons, labels, web, stationery,
etc. including those with special offers.
• Any custom design quote.

To get the discount follow these steps:
1. Place an order from either http://www.1sticondesign.com or
http://www.1sticondesign.com/ (your card does not get charged at this
point)
2. You will receive a receipt for your transaction. Reply to the
receipt and add “Happy Birthday” in the subject line.
3. Voila…we will take 50%% off prior to charging your card and we will
send you anew receipt with the actual transaction amount.

If the discount is not quite enough to convince you to give our
services and products a try, check our new portfolios:
Latest: http://www.1sticondesign.com/lp1.htm
Custom Icons: http://www.1sticondesign.com/icon_portfolio.htm
Boxes and Labels: http://www.1stlogodesign.com/box_portfolioNF.htm

A word from our customers:
"The team at 1st Logo Design has provided us with precisely the logo
and corporate look we had envisioned. The fact that we are located on
the opposite side of the globe in Australia was by no means an
obstacle or hindrance in the design process.
1st Logo Design redefines the definition of customer service
excellence and in so doing, has set a new benchmark for all businesses
and companies, to “strive to achieve"

There is a great deal of confusion even among experienced programmers on the
differences between VBScript ("Visual Basic Scripting Edition"), VBA
("Visual Basic for Applications"), and VB ("Visual Basic"), and where and
how they are used.

Perhaps this article will help to clear up a few things....

So yes VBScript ain't just for ASP.

DLL in VB6, but I was hoping that someone might know of a free DLL
that would work.

I've been examining the Mabry MSGHOOK DLL, but it looks like it will
only hook mouse events for one particular window, not the entire
system.

Does anyone have any good experience with a DLL to hook system mouse
events in VB6?

using the following:
Me.Move 0, 0, Screen.Width, 800

The 2nd form acts as a status bar form and sits at teh bottom of the
screen. It is positioned using the following:
Me.Move 0, Screen.height - Me.height, Screen.Width

The problem I have is that if teh taskbar is set to display all teh time,
the staus bar form is hidden behind it. How can I get the position and size
of the taskbar and use this to correctly position my form? I do not want to
use the sysinfo tool as it has problems under Vista.

TIA

IIRC, I found an ActiveX/COM DLL that implemented REXX parsing/pattern
matching. Can't find it now. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

Kind regards,
Bruce.

(Office XP 2002). I am not in my preferred SQL environment. So I
have the need to access general routines that copy simple SQL "Select"
statements;

1) Sort a table/list based on a particular column,
2) Group by a particular column,
3) Count the rows in a table for a particular group by characteristic.

I feel that there should be good library routines to perform these
functions on the data that I read from regions within the EXCELL
worksheets.

This usernet group is not well subscribe to. Perhaps there is mother
web source I should subscribe to.

Regards JC.......
