juan@pcexperts.com | Reference the BDE in VB Is there any way to reference the BDE in my Visual basic 6.0 project so that I can access Paradox data and create ADO recordsets, execute queries, etc.?, , Thanks, Juan | 1 Reply: |
mprestwood | Hi Juan,
I hope all is going well!!! I just wanted to add to this old thread for those that end up here via a search. No, there is no easy way to work with the BDE with VB6. You could do it, but it would be a ton of work and totally not worth it.
Instead, you can use an ODBC driver to access your Paradox tables from any non-BDE application including VB, Access, etc. The best ODBC Paradox driver in my opinion is still the Paradox ODBC driver tha... |

khatib_b | No Subject Hi every body
I was able to designate an access Database as a custom source to a textbox to accomlish autocomplete property of the textbox. The problem is when I enter the first letter of a word I get about 15 autocomplete suggestions while in the DB there are more than 50 words beginning with that letter. Is there a way to make the whole words displayed in the autocomplete pop up box.
Thanks for your help |

wildbill57 |  Editing text boxes in PDF with VB !Hey y'all,I need to fill in PDF files. There is a product available that does thid for the backflow community but I do not have it nor does it do the other half of things I do. (It is not especially user-friendly either.) I do backflow testing and calibrate test kits and pressure gauges. That means filling out forms for county offices with a lot of the same data on them from year to year. Sometimes there are several devices per customer. These are scanned PDF forms from the counties (have to be their original, typed format - computer printed is okay). Calibration data sheets are currently in Excel - spreadsheets formatted to print out for the customer. I fill these out after a test. Copy and paste tends to lead to errors and boredom. Takes too long too!--> You can guess that I do a lot of typing over - because the data for test reports, calibration sheets, quotes and billing is not easy to put into the form where it ultimately goes. It can be stored together, ... |

wildbill57 | Can VB4 and VB6 coexist? I uave Visual Studio with MSDN ver 6 installed on my main PC (W2K) and have to interface with a 16 bit DLL for a product that I am using. The product developers tel me that VB4 in 16 bit mode is required to access the DLL, since it was written in that mode (quite a while ago). I'd llike to upgrade the interface software but it would cost me about $500!I have VB4 and wonder if I can put it on the computer also - hence the question about having both VB4 and VS6 installed at the same time. Or should I use a different box then just copy the .exe when I have it ready?Thanks,Bill Allen678-717-8590allenbh *at* alltel.net | 2 replies. Last post: |

When I try to open up a project in VB, I get the following message...."crystl32.ocx could not be loaded--Continue Loading Project?"

Lastly, in a log file associated with the aforementioned form, I get the message...."Class Crystal.CrystalReport of control rptReport was not a loaded control class." , I recently downloaded 'Depends' and used it to see if I had some files missing, but when I checked for dependencies on the crystl32.ocx file, everything was fine.

mprestwood | My understanding is that Microsoft recommends you use an auxiliary Edit control for doing the task. When you want to edit the text in a cell, you retieve the cell's rectangle and place an edit control over it.

The information that is read in then has to be displyed in a text box for the user to read. i.e. one line in the text file should appear as one line in the text box. Is there a simple way of achieving this, or can someone point me in the right dircetion for finding a solution., , Thank you for your time., , Gary Park |

wpantoja | From a Visual Basic point of view, you will find that using OLEDB is a much easier implementation task then talking directly to ODBC. OLEDB, and more specifically, ADO is a COM-based data access control that is very easy to use in Visual Basic, Visual Basic for Applications, and VBScript., , If you are concerned with performance, then interfacing directly with database connection libraries (such as DB-lib for MSSQL) would be the best choice.

cheddar | the form keydown event is what you want. Set the form KeyPreview to true and this event will capture the key events first. From this event you can check the key that is down and make the decision about what function to call. You can then set the keycode to 0 to cancel the keypress. |

The first time this process occurs one of them causes the following error:, , "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients", , Oddly, once the error occurs the first time, the same process of refreshing data controls works fine., , I've researched this on the net and found several similar circumstances with various other controls: embedded excel controls, crystal controls, etc. It seems all of these problems occur using Windows 2000, NT or, in my case, XP. These apps always work on earlier versions of windows., , The closest I came to a solution was something having to do with fixing a crystal dep file but that doesn't address my problem., , Any ideas would be appreciated., , Neil |
