http://acsource.net/acforum/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=770d21a72edd773153898ec359d84e0e I like it but I like some others better. phpBB, a little simple http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/index.php?s=94f76578d5359d487102da5889d7eacd vBulletin, pretty. This may be my new favorite. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerosearch?cmd=activethreads zeroforum, not as pretty, the best for me for all around use. Might fall back to second. This is from a user stand point.

Darn those hidden files, how can I burn a CD if the files are hidden, the last paragraph of my post described how to make them un-hidden, they are not hidding now, I found them. If the files and folders can be hidden by reversing the un-hide process, the folders show up as a lighter icon, not as bright as folders that do not formally get hidden.

When I click on the User folder, Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning Local Settings is not visible, I dont see an area to show hidden folders. XP Home. Found it by Search to include Hidden Folders and Files, how do we unhide them please. EDIT Control Panel, Appearance & Themes, Folder Options, View TAB, then in Advance Settings Block choose Show hidden files and folders Option Button, click Apply and OK, DONE.

For those folks reading this later in the archives, you can e mail your files to yourself too in case you arent CD-RW savvy. Limited to the size your e mail provider allows unless you know how to split files, folders, programs, movies, etc.

Looks like an AjaxControlToolKit.HoverMenuBehavior but you can build your own with plain ole VB, I am looking for my old VB6 project that used MouseEnter and MouseLeave, mine was not this fancy but when the mouse Entered a control on my form, a callout type window opened and I was able to put info / instructions in the callout window, its buried somewhere on an external HD, if you are interested, I have to dig it out, it was simple unless someone here can get this Java for you easily. Sys.Application.add_init(function() { $create(AjaxControlToolkit.DropShadowBehavior, {"Opacity":0.2,"TrackPosition":true,"id":"ctl00_MainContent_ctl03_rptShowcases_ctl23_dse"}, null, null, $get("ctl00_MainContent_ctl03_rptShowcases_ctl23_img")); }); Sys.Application.add_init(function() { $create(AjaxControlToolkit.HoverMenuBehavior, {"DynamicServicePath":"/ajax/showcase/Default.aspx","OffsetX":-25,"OffsetY":-40,"PopDelay":150,"id":"ctl00_MainContent_ctl03_rptShowcases_ctl23_hme","popupElement":$get("ctl00_MainContent_ctl03_rptShowcases_ctl23_info")}, null, null, $get("ctl00_MainContent_ctl03_rptShowcases_ctl23_img")); });

How handsome does this form need to look, you can do all the math in the push of a button while showing the total bill hours and the total price ONLY or you can break it down into the different levels and show the sub totals of each as you have explained. I would perform the over 100 math first then deal with everything under 100, in your case 10, 10, 20, 60. The code can be a tad long hand so others can figure it out later in your absence or transfer or move on to a different job, like the boss who may not be an old VB Head. The code can be written after your psuedo code using If Then statements or If Then Else. Do you already have a form made up, whats on it, I would make it as busy as possible, maybe 7 textboxes, 7 labels, 1 button for the math, but code out each box as in your psuedo code and the button will perform it all and show the TOTAL AMOUNT OWED based on the HOURS CONSUMED. I just built an excel spreadsheet with the minimum amount of numbers to go from say 23 thru 150, I only used like 7 numbers, like 28 + 36 = 64 or 25 + 32 + 40 = 97, by using these few numbers thru my upper limit I could combine them to get any total from 23 thru 150 inclusive, the maximum of additions would be 5 of my 7 such as 25 + 25 +......= 150. EDIT, SINCE I LIVE IN A FORIEGN COUNTRY, THE US DOLLAR TO YEN CHANGES DAILY AND WE HAVE CHARTS TO SHOW AT AN INSTANT WHAT YOU WILL GET FOR THE AMOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO EXCHANGE. I think what I am trying to say is that you should also create a table that will show every combonation from zero (0.01) hours usage thru a FINITE 'n' upper limit or infinite limit, excel will knock that out in seconds for the usage numbers over 100 since the rate does not change over 100. Are you going to link this all to a spreadsheet or to SQL database, put customer info on form1 and make it busier than I stated above, thats good too. As you say, you cant see the forest for the trees, this should be an easy one, just depends on how you want it to look and how long do you want the code, even the longest will print out on one sheet of paper. The more electric you use, the more those people pay, sound like VA disability math being used here.

stringReturn = String.Join(" ", caparray) I do not have your answer but what does this String.Join do, is it joining the first line to the second line and so on? Can you use vbcrlf to go to the next line or 'proper case' instead of 'upper case'.

This looks like an ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX thing, see the post a few posts below yours for a link.

I really do not know what I am talking about but I just watched a video a little while ago dealing with pulling first names and last names. These two columns of info were concatonated together to fill a full name column. Make a space, not an underscore as my sample??????????? You may not need a literal comma. lastname + "," + _firstname Hope you get some real help from others, I will be watching + learning.

I am still semi New to the VB Studio thing, I have been watching tons of MS Videos on line, the latest is a 16 part ADO.NET 2.0 series. With VB Studio and SQL Server package, do you really need to spend the time on ADO.NET, wont the VB Studio complete package be good enough to do just about anything a beginner will need to do or build a website that uses a data base to collect new clients and give them access to some data from your site. Thanks in advance for any feedback and guidance.

Dont know if this will help any but I used to Hyperlink thousands of cells down column A with a loop. Here is a piece. ActiveSheet.Hyperlink.Add Anchor:=Sheet1.cells(a,1), _ Address:=Sheet1.cells(a,1).value, _ TextToDiaplay:=Sheet1.cells(a,1).value Then it would loop to A2, A3 and so on down the line till it errored cause I did not know how to stop the loop. (a,1) is column A and row 1, I think, maybe first row and column 1. I think row is mentioned before column??? This stated whatever text was in cell A1, hyperlink it, yes in my case it was a web address, this was several years ago. Now I use a third party macro recorder, not VBA, and it double clicks on the cell as you mentioned and creates the hyperlink through its double click leftmouseclick code. Hope the snippit above gives you an idea, check the help file if needed.

Do you actually need to loop through the same set of chkboxes, the exact same set each time or is it a random selection? Private Sub TextBox29_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox29.Validating Dim Box26 As Double = 0 Dim Box29 As Double = 0 TextBox29.SelectAll() Dim response As MsgBoxResult If TextBox29.Text.Length = 0 Then MsgBox(("A 'B5' value is required." & vbCrLf & _ "Would you like to add more input"), MsgBoxStyle.YesNo) If response = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then e.Cancel = True Else e.Cancel = False TextBox28.Text = 0 TextBox31.Text = 0 TextBox32.Focus() End If ElseIf Not IsNumeric(TextBox29.Text) Then MsgBox("This 'B5' value is not numeric.", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation) e.Cancel = True ElseIf CheckBox10.Checked Then e.Cancel = False Else Box26 = CDbl(TextBox26.Text) Box29 = CDbl(TextBox29.Text) TextBox27.Text = CStr(Box29 + 1) TextBox28.Text = CStr(Box26 - Box29) End If 'If Box29 <= 0 Then ' MsgBox("Your 'B5' value must be greater than zero.", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation) ' e.Cancel = True 'End If TextBox35.Clear() TextBox36.Clear() TextBox37.Clear() TextBox38.Clear() TextBox39.Clear() End Sub Notice above: ElseIf CheckBox10.Checked Then e.Cancel = False I have a total of 10 chkboxes and I will check them at complete random depending on the current scenario, and the scenarios are never the same. Later down in the code I just turn off all chkboxes but I could program only certain ones if needed. This is a NOOBs rendition. Private Sub TextBox39_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox39.Validating Dim Box35 As Double = (TextBox35.Text) Dim Box36 As Double = (TextBox36.Text) Dim Box37 As Double = (TextBox37.Text) Dim Box38 As Double = (TextBox38.Text) TextBox39.Text = CStr((Box35 + Box36) + (Box37 - Box38)) If CheckBox1.Checked Then TextBox4.Text = TextBox39.Text TextBox8.Focus() End If If CheckBox2.Checked Then TextBox7.Text = TextB

As a scenario such as working with PowerPoint, Visio or even VB Studio as well as many other situations. When in design mode you may have your toolbox or an outline preview showing on the left, some sort of properties listing on the right and your toolbar is almost certainly at the top. There are even toolbars available at the bottom. I want to open for example PPt inside the center of my form and the workspace will take up the entire screen, while the entire toolbar on the top, outline pane on the left, slide selection pane on the right and anything I have on the bottom will all be off screen, but available quickly. Throught the use of the four arrow keys and what I am sure will be plenty of code I would like to arrow left to show the outline pane and my work space or arrow up to get to a toolbar and so on. Ultimately I would like my full screen to show my full work space with nothing else in the visible screen, not even the Title bar on top. If I set the form1 size much bigger than 820,620 it defaults back to the builtin maximum allowable size. This machine is currently 800 by 600. Thanks in advance for any assistance or ideas.

javascript:ol('http://www.codeproject.com/article.asp?tag=22254790602739235'); Any help here, just read it an hour ago and it came to mind, sorry if its out in left field.

I recorded an actual Macro and it looks like this. Application.CommandBars("Web").Visible = False Range("A28").Select Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True Range("A29").Select ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3 What I actually have is thousands of rows populated, Three rows are visible with data in the top three rows of my active sheet, 26, 27 & 28 in this example. When I first open the spreadsheet, I need to make the WEB toolbar go away, this part is good. I then need to click on the very last hyperlink in 'A' column, I think it may be refered to something like lastused range????? This example is 'A28'. I then need to put the cursor in the next available empty cell past the lastused range in the 'A' column and post it in the very top left corner, (as though it was in cell A1 ready to work). This empty cell was in the fourth row so I did three smallscroll to get it to the top row in view. When I record the macro as you see above it records the actual cell number, this will not help me but I know someone here can please. I also need the macro to run slowly giving the internet time to upload the hyperlink and then revert back to finish the macro, it just zips right through it now and does not end up in the correct cell when completed. Thanks in advance for any help, I didnt see a VBA forum, flame suit on. Lastly, is there a way to make the WEB toolbar stay gone, it wasnt in view by default prior to some MS update I am guessing???

Sorry, I am in VB Studio 05, I am still a NOOB and I built a calculator project, the sums that I came up with are used to the a Macro how many times to {REPEAT xx}. Since my first question I have learned that in order to get into this MACRO I must first open Notepad to view it, do a FIND for REPEAT then replace the numbers after it, since they will always be different I have no clue with my current experience on how to drill down to my file, open up Notepad, do the search, find and replace the text of choice, then I hope that it will work of course and I will learn something in the process. I just did a little video training online about MY Namespaces, this may help a little to get directly to the folder but I think I will have to concatenate the name of the macro and do all the events required to find and replace the text of choice. I have seen no training on this, like you mentioned, the macro file itself is in some other format directly, but viewing it in Notepad works great. I am just trying to do the job I do everyday programically and I need serious help please. This is a hobby task by the way, it used to take about 20 minutes by hand, I would like to get it down to 5.
