    Can you believe this? This function is supposed to be called on the Set Focus event of textboxes in vb6

    Private Sub txtIN_GotFocus(Index As Integer)
    setTxtWnd txtIN(Index)
    End Sub

    Public Sub setTxtWnd(oTxt As TextBox, Optional ByVal tbNoIndex As Boolean = False)
    On Error Resume Next

    With oTxt
        If .Parent.ActiveControl.Name = oTxt.Name Then
            If Not tbNoIndex Then
                If .Parent.ActiveControl.Index = oTxt.Index Then
    

    M_FOC:
    .BorderStyle = 1
    .Appearance = 1
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelLength = Len(.Text)
    Else
    GoTo M_NO_FOC
    End If
    Else
    GoTo M_FOC
    End If
    Else
    M_NO_FOC:
    .BorderStyle = 0
    .Appearance = 0

    no way, this proyect is a gold mine!!! take a look at this, he was afraid of .SetFocus

      sql = "SELECT COD\_GCIA FROM GerenciasWEB WHERE COD\_GCIA = '" & .COD\_GCIA & "'"
        Set rstmp = New ADODB.Recordset

    On Error Resume Next
    txtIN(6).SetFocus
    Exit Sub
    Else
    .COD_GCIA = Trim(rstmp.Fields("COD_GCIA"))
    End If

        If tmpCntPermisos = 0 Then
            If MsgBox("Usuario no tiene permisos", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "¿Desea grabar?") = vbNo Then
    

    On Error Resume Next
    lvPermisos.SetFocus
    Exit Sub
    End If
    End If

            If MsgBox("Usuario no tiene Gerencia", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "¿Desea grabar?") = vbNo Then
    

    On Error Resume Next
    txtIN(6).SetFocus
    Exit Sub
    End If
    End If
    'Correo
    If .EMAIL <> "" Then
    If Not checkIngresoEMAIL(.EMAIL) Then
    MsgBox "E-Mail: " & .EMAIL & " no es valido", vbCritical, "Elija Otro"
    On Error Resume Next

        I'd be careful about posting chunks of code large enough to be readily recognized. If a clueful coworker discovers them you could end up in serious trouble.

            You'd better hope that this continues. This site is rather famous you know, and google does tend to return results from here. I assume he does use google.

            Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                  Well, having just read this post properly, I really hope you've changed the details of servers and passwords in here. I really really hope you wouldn't be so daft as to tell people what your servers were called and what their passwords are.

                    Ok, his code is not up to your standard, but maybe that's why he becomes the boss. As a boss, he doesn't need to write good code. The worst boss could be someone who can actually write code and thinks he is much better at coding than his developers.

                      Imagine: you would be the boss and he would be the programmer. :rolleyes: It is called the "Peter principles": to promote somebody to a position on which he cant do any harm. X|

                        Is that what happened to me? My name's Peter. Oh wait - I have no principles.

                          :doh: It is better to have principles, like a coding style. It helps to avoid mistakes and makes achieving greater goals easier: "Safety first" !! rules rockom bottom My personal life experience is, that people more often get into trouble if they have to less principles. Like: "Dont drink [to much] and drive" :-O

                            That's exaclly the problem!!! hehe, he actualy force me to work like him! I had lengthy discussions with him for that. Just for example, He keeps using Datatables against collection of custom objects, His reasons: 1: Datatables are fastest and lighter 1: I did a small benchmark code that loaded 10000 Customers to a datatable and to a collection of objects, Collection of objects loaded 3 to 5 times faster and consumed half the memory that datatable So he switch his argument to: 2:Collection of object are not easily bindable! 2:So i created a collection that inherits BindingList, and showed him! So he switched: 3:Collection of object are more insecure, becouse you can make mistakes when you fill them! 3:Customer.Name is always more secure that doing DTCustomers("Name") So in his last chance hi sayd: 4:But collection of objects keeps the memory fragmented, while datatable is loaded in a single continuous block of memory 4:At that point i just say, ok, do whatever you want, you are the boss!! Well, it's always like that. The other day i discused like 1 hour for this: We was working on a project and he has done something like this

                            Dim MIObject as object
                            Do
                            If condition then MiObject = AnotherObject
                            Loop
                            MiObject.DoSomenthing

                            Of course the ide throws a warning becouse "MiObject" could be nothing. So tied of seen that warning, i replaced: Dim MIObject as object by Dim MIObject as object = Nothing So, i spend 2 hour arguing with him, couse he was saying that "= Nothing" loaded the Class in memory and etc... Or for example, i created a Class customer that we can use in every project, i pass the code to him, and when i get it back i see he made a Public Sub in a module like: "ChangeCustomerEmail(CusId as integer, Mail as String)", God Dammit!! for what the hell i did the customer class then? So, this is how i work everyday, i am really tired.

                              It's ok, the server doesn't exist anymore and the password is encrypted.

                                  That's exaclly the problem!!! hehe, he actualy force me to work like him! I had lengthy discussions with him for that. Just for example, He keeps using Datatables against collection of custom objects, His reasons: 1: Datatables are fastest and lighter 1: I did a small benchmark code that loaded 10000 Customers to a datatable and to a collection of objects, Collection of objects loaded 3 to 5 times faster and consumed half the memory that datatable So he switch his argument to: 2:Collection of object are not easily bindable! 2:So i created a collection that inherits BindingList, and showed him! So he switched: 3:Collection of object are more insecure, becouse you can make mistakes when you fill them! 3:Customer.Name is always more secure that doing DTCustomers("Name") So in his last chance hi sayd: 4:But collection of objects keeps the memory fragmented, while datatable is loaded in a single continuous block of memory 4:At that point i just say, ok, do whatever you want, you are the boss!! Well, it's always like that. The other day i discused like 1 hour for this: We was working on a project and he has done something like this

                                  Dim MIObject as object
                                  Do
                                  If condition then MiObject = AnotherObject
                                  Loop
                                  MiObject.DoSomenthing

                                  Of course the ide throws a warning becouse "MiObject" could be nothing. So tied of seen that warning, i replaced: Dim MIObject as object by Dim MIObject as object = Nothing So, i spend 2 hour arguing with him, couse he was saying that "= Nothing" loaded the Class in memory and etc... Or for example, i created a Class customer that we can use in every project, i pass the code to him, and when i get it back i see he made a Public Sub in a module like: "ChangeCustomerEmail(CusId as integer, Mail as String)", God Dammit!! for what the hell i did the customer class then? So, this is how i work everyday, i am really tired.

                                    Sounds like someone i used to work for. Every time i proposed creating a new class to put functionality in, i was met with "Don't create any new objects, instantiation is expensive and it will make the system inefficient." The net result was huge functions in huge code files and a flat packed inter dependant code structure.(Among other gems) However, i now work for a company that encourages pragmatic design so all is well.

                                      Don't worry, we are only 2 in the development sector, me and my boss, and obviously he doesn't read The Code Project.com! ;) Anyway, i am really tied of working with someone like this, i see no future here, and i am actually looking for another job.

                                      Oh yeah, I'd hire you in a flash. Especially as you have total respect for your line manager and are completely discreet when it comes to the publishing of in house code :)

                                      The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.

                                        It's ok, the server doesn't exist anymore and the password is encrypted.

                                          Can you believe this? This function is supposed to be called on the Set Focus event of textboxes in vb6

                                          Private Sub txtIN_GotFocus(Index As Integer)
                                          setTxtWnd txtIN(Index)
                                          End Sub

                                          Public Sub setTxtWnd(oTxt As TextBox, Optional ByVal tbNoIndex As Boolean = False)
                                          On Error Resume Next

                                          With oTxt
                                              If .Parent.ActiveControl.Name = oTxt.Name Then
                                                  If Not tbNoIndex Then
                                                      If .Parent.ActiveControl.Index = oTxt.Index Then

                                          Another one from my boss! lol. This is actually from a final production software developed by my boss a couple years ago, now we are going to .net and he told me to "Do the same that this module". so here is part of the code:

                                           tmpAdd = tmpAdd + Format(tmp5, "###,##0") + Chr(9)
                                                              tmpAdd = tmpAdd + Format(tmp6, "###,##0") + Chr(9)
                                                              tmpAdd = tmpAdd + Format(tmp3 + tmp5, "###,##0") + Chr(9)
                                                              tmpAdd = tmpAdd + Format(tmp4 + tmp6, "###,##0") + Chr(9)
                                                              mTotalesMSF(6) = mTotalesMSF(6) + tmp6 + tmp4
                                                              If tmp1 = 0 Then
                                                                  tmpCero = 100
                                                              Else

                                                                  End If

                                                              If tmp1 + tmp2 + tmp3 + tmp4 + tmp5 + tmp6 <> 0 Then msfConsulta.AddItem tmpAdd

                                          At last, tmp4,6,7,2,3 etc are variables with things like, total sales, proyected sales, pending orders, etc..
