How To Access Visual FoxPro Data In Visual Basic
I have a problem :(

I would like do delete a record in FoxPro data base with Visual Basic 6

I use ODBC kuhinja:

Const povezava = "Provider=MSDASQL.1; Persist Security Info=False; Data Source=kuhinja"

adott1.ConnectionString = povezava
adott2.ConnectionString = povezava

adott2.RecordSource = "SELECT sifra,grupa,naziv,nabavna,vpc " _
& "FROM izdelki "
adott2.Refresh

to view data in datagrid

I delete a record :

adott1.RecordSource = "SELECT * " _
& " FROM izdelki " _
& " WHERE sifra='" & adott2.Recordset!sifra & "'"
adott1.Refresh

Record is marked in FoxPro as deleted ( not yet PACK ) but in Visual Basic datagrid (adott2.refersh ) record is still in it.

How can i execute PACK in Visual Basic????

Visual Basic Data Output With Visual Data Manager
Hi:

I have Visual Studio 6.0 and am using VB6 to make a program. This program takes input through the Visual Data Manager as Records, one by one. Then I want it to display these records one by one on forms, on labels, so that a user can go through them as displays one after another, as soon as the Visual Data Manager is closed.

It uses the Visual Data Manager to collect data, but what I need to do is then output as a label display to a new form or existing form, as a label.

I have tried things like

Unload Me
Form1.Show
RecordSet1 = Label1.Text

or

TxtFields() = = Label1.Text
TxtFields(1) = = Label2.Text

TxtFields() = = Form1.Label1.Text
TxtFields(1) = = Form2.Label2.Text

and the like, but it does not work. I have searched the Internet for answers.

What I do not want is to use say MS Access and SQL as the back and middle ends, because then the user would have to purchase additional software just to run this thing. I just want it to be self-contained and small. Say with maybe up to 100 records, probably much less. One record per set of two labels.

Also, a way to save this Recordset and retrieve it as TXT or RTF.

Any Ideas, All you programming gurus out there?

Thanks In Advance,

Bob

Visual Basic Transformation Script Date Conversion
I have a column that has a date format 10/14/03 and I need to change it to 14-OCT-2003 format. I have search but did not find anything that is remotely close to what I need.
I am using a DTS to get the date from a table as a 'char' and need to change it to dd-mon-yyyy format which is a exported to a csv file. Here is a sample attempt that the result is a blank space:

Function Main()
    If TRIM(DTSSource("Date")) = "10/14/03" Then
    DTSDestination("Date") = "14-OCT-2003"
    ElseIf TRIM(DTSSource("Date")) = "08/04/03" Then
    DTSDestination("Date") = "04-AUG-2003"
    Else
    DTSDestination("Date") = DTSSource("Date")
    End if
    Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function

What Value Type Is Global In Visual Basic?
What value type is Global in Visual Basic?

If I have something defined like this:

Code:
Global ErrorStatus&

And I have know what data type this is. I have heard that the compiler sets the data type based on how it is used. Well, suppose I have this problem where I have to know what the default type it is because I am sending it to a C++ DLL. What type should I expect?

Visual Basic Project Type???
Can someone give me a clear understanding and concepts of the different type of Visual Basic Projects. If there are site that give examples of each type, please post.

Variable Uses An Automation Type Not Supported In Visual Basic
This error pops up:

"Variable uses an automation type not supported in Visual Basic"

When I invoke this method in a DLL on the client machine.

Code:
Public Function RetrieveStuff(ByVal StuffID As Long, rsStuff As ADODB.Recordset) As Long
This error does not occur on the development machine. But once compiled, and installed it will appear on one machine but not on another.

The Package and Development Wizard used to create the install includes the line:

Quote:

File5=@MDAC_TYP.EXE,$(AppPath),,,3/18/99 12:00:00 AM,6492488,21.1.3711.11

... in other words the MDAC is installed on both machines, yet it runs on one and not on the other.

Since this application will be widely distributed, I am concerned that I am missing something in the install which is required by the DLL when it executes the above method.

Any suggestions?

Variable Uses An Automation Type Not Supported In Visual Basic
Hello everybody,

This error does not arise when the same code is put inside a
standard exe.

How Can I Determine Database Type At Run Time In Visual Basic 6
Hi,

I'm writing a program, which is allowed to use different databases (e.g. MS Access, MS SQL, MySQL, etc.).

The database connection is through ODBC. Hence, I just need to change the connection string to access different databases.

However, there are some different SQL statement syntax among these database types. Hence, I have to write different SQL statements for different database types. I want to handle this issue by using conditional statements.

For example (pseudo code only):

Get database type
if database type = MS Access then
    statement A
elseif database type = MS SQL thne
    statement B
else
    statement C
end if

My problem is: How can I determine database type at run time in Visual Basic 6?

Thanks for help in advance.

Visual Basic Question In Java (Private Type?)
I need to do something in Java that I only know how to do in VB.

Visual Basic has a way to create 'custom variables' that you can use in the rest of your program. The syntax is (if i can remember; I haven't used VB in years):

Code:

private type customRect

top as boolean
bottom as boolean
left as boolean
right as boolean
x as int
y as int

end type

With this you can use it like:

Code:

Dim theRectangle as customRect

theRectangle.top = true

And you could put it into arrays and such.

I need to do this exact same type of thing in Java. Can anyone show me how to do it, or something similar?

Error 458. Variable Uses An Automation Type Not Supported In Visual Basic
Using the package and deployment wizard i have made one setup for ActiveX.exe (servers) and one another for the client(s) included ActiveX.dlls and a ActiveX.exe(the running application for the client/user). After the installation both server and client i take the following error:
Error 458. Variable uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.
How can resolve this problem?
The problem is the compatibility? I use binary.
Should i install all the servers individually
or clear the registry again ,complile again the project with no compatibility and then recompiple it with binary compatibility.
It is metioned that both server and client machines run only windows 98 second edition and are properly configured using the dcomcnfg.exe
But on my development machine runs without any problem

Run-time Error '458': Variable Uses An Automation Type Not Supported In Visual Basic.
We have the same application running on dozens of machines, but recently we had to install the client on a new system, and whenever a call to COM is encountered the following error is produced:

Run-time error '458': Variable uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.

Now, the only difference that I have been able to determine between the new machine and the existing ones is that the new one has Internet Explorer 6, and all the old ones have have IE 5.5-2

Is there something VB/VB script related that is included in the IE 5.5-2 install? If so, how can I get the files I need since the 5.5-2 install is no longer supported through Microsoft?

Visual Basic Development & The Visual C++ Shared Objects
I having a really irritating problem. I'm developing an Add-in in Visual Basic... however, to do the development I'm doing, I require the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference to be added to the project.

Here in lies the problem. I also need the VB command left [as in left string copy - ie. left("aaaaa", 2)] The only problem is that by adding the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference, the LEFT command is overridden with the C++ version which returns a long (or something like that).

In the References window, I've already set "Visual C++ shared Objects" to the lowest possible priority... is there anyway to get around this arrangement?

Thanks in advance,

Dumb Question About Visual Basic / Visual Studio...
From someone who has been programming as long as I have, this has got to be a dumb (DUH!!!) question.  But if I don't get it answered, I'm going to continue to run around in circles.  The problem stems from what appears to be a simple name change, and the fact that I only upgrade my software infrastructure here every few years, so I miss what's going on.

VB6 appears to be the last (terminating) version of Visual Basic.  There will be no VB7.  But, clearly, the language itself is not being terminated -- just called something else, or is being "assimilated" (resistance is futile) or absorbed into a larger platform, losing its identity as a stand-alone programming environment.

How does Visual Studio relate to Visual Basic?  Is the "next generation" version of Visual Basic now being called Visual Basic.NET?  Is VB.NET part of Visual Studio?  If I get Visual Studio, is VB.NET automatically part of that package?  Or is Visual Studio one thing, and VB.NET something else entirely, ordered as two separate things?  If I want to keep programming in VB (as a programming language/environment), do I now have to get Visual Studio instead?

Sorry to bother the more enlightened souls here with a DUH question -- but I gotta ask SOMEBODY...

Thanks.  You folks have been a GREAT help here.

Visual Basic Items Removed From Visual Basic.NET
A while ago (maybe up to a year) I had found a web page (probably a Microsoft MVP's home age) that had a list of about 100 things that were removed from Visual Basic in the transition to Visual Basic.NET. As it is, I would like to look at that again, but I can't seem to find it on my computer. Does anyone remember this page and/or have a copy of the link or the file that was on it. It has particular things like Debug.Print is no longer valid and MsgBox function is not supported. I've look on Microsoft's website and found a great deal of information about implementation difference, but I can't seem to locate this particular piece. If anyone could help I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks in Advnance

Visual Basic Data Format?
I have a COM interface which is either expecting UTF-16 or UTF-8 data to be passed in. I always understood that under the hood, VB is UTF-16, but this does not seem to be the case because if I pass it directly to the COM interface, the Encoding is not correct.

Is there something you need to do to get it into UTF-16.

Additionally, anyone know how to get it into UTF-8 as an alternative?

Thanks.
