Assuming you are using VB.Net You need to test the existence of shlFolder If Not IsNothing(shlFolder) Then process files End If However, you should really be using the .net directory and file info classes to achieve this with a directory browser dialog or openfile dialog!

How do I use a PictureBox? Right now I have Dim picbox As PictureBox 'tried this and didn't work' picbox = LoadPicture("C:\file.jpg") 'tried this and got "type mismatch"' Set picbox = LoadPicture("C:\file.jpg")

Hi, this is a way that you can use if you are calling formB from formA, if not you can use the Sub Main to keep active forms references. In FormB Private m_f As FormA Public Sub New(f as FormA) m_f = f MyBase.New End Sub ... Call m_f.TheMethod In FormA ...ButtonX.Click Call TheMethod End Sub Public Sub TheMethod ... End Sub ... dim f as New FromB(Me) f.Show Hope this helps! NajiCo http://www.InsideVB.NET[^] It's nice 2b important, but it's more important 2b nice...

Hi, string class has a constructor specially for you: new String(char, repeatCount) :) Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

According to the SaveAs help documentation the default behaviour is to overwrite without prompting. What you can do is test to see if the file your are going to save as already exists, and then do something to select another name. In the code example below, if the file "c:\test.doc" exists the while loop will try for "c:\test_1.doc". If that file exists, it will then try for "c:\test_2.doc" and so on. Dim I As Long Dim SaveAsFileName As String Dim NewSaveAsFileName As String SaveAsFileName = "c:\Test.doc" NewSaveAsFileName = SaveAsFileName While Dir(NewSaveAsFileName, vbNormal) <> "" I = I + 1 NewSaveAsFileName = Left(SaveAsFileName, Len(SaveAsFileName) - 4) & "_" & i & _ Right(SaveAsFileName, 4) Wend

In that case, try this article in Devx: Open, Close, Edit, Find/Replace and Print Word Documents in VB6 After the word document is opened in the WordXChangeCtrl OpenDocument function, the document text is exposed in Doc.Content.Text. (I found this Devx article by searching in Google for "vb6 word document".)

thanks alot man Cheers, reegan41

To do double quotes, you have to use two of them to escape it: Dim stringWithDoubleQuotes As String = "This is a ""test...""" The contents of the string will be This is a "test..."

You were using an MS Access database? What version?

Hi reegan41, I think you should store all fields value from recordset into string variable. You can do this by read all fields with For Each Statement. GoodID

Thanks, the ListIndex property worked wonders!

Ya, its VBA using Access. I need to somehow verify that 'if' statement properly, then get the selected item into a String variable.
