VB Classic Control Usage and Developing Topic

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, ...

Hello, , I am sure that this is going to be a simple problem to fix, but I have just started a very steep learning curve with Visual Basic 6 in that I have to alter a program that has already been written, and I am a complete novice to VB., , What I need to do is to read in a text file which has multiple lines. 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

Hi,, , I'm getting an error that seems to be random. In the app several data controls are refreshed. 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

Hi,, , I have a vb6 app that runs fine under windows 95 to windows 2000. I've been testing our applications with windows XP and have found that the masked edit control in this particular application is displaying some strange behavior: It is black, making the black text unreadable. If I outline the text, it's visible but just barely. Do I need a new version of the ocx? Do I need to use a regular text box? Is there a fix for this?, , Thanks,, Neil

I am developing an application using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. I need an image control for displaying a background picture of a form, on which other smaller images and shapes (such as circles or lines) are displayed and moved by the user. The problem with the basic VB image control is that its rendering capabilities are not sufficient, and moving other images upon it during runtime results in a very disturbing "flickering" effect., , I thought of using the GTImage ActiveX control, but when I tried to use it I couldn't move it to the background and place other images or shapes on top of it. , , Is there any way of doing that using this control ? Are there any other image controls I can use, or any other ideas on how to solve the problem ?

I have a VB app that uses a datagrid to display a recordset from a SQL Server DB. It's a 3-tier app with the user IF calling a function in a dll that returns the recordset with the following code:, , Set DataGrid1.DataSource = PD.LoadGrid(1, sConnect, 0), , The app and dll have been loaded on the DB server and on a user's system that accesses the DB over the network. The dll is registered on both. The app runs fine on the user's system but when trying to run it directly on the server, I get a msgbox with "Cannot initialize data bindings" and Datagrid as the title. The MSDATGRD.OCX file is registered on both machines. This is a problem because many of their users will run the app from a Terminal Server session to the DB server. Any ideas why this is happening?

I've tried verious updates and *.dll's but no luck. Any ideas??
