Visual Basic And Searching An Outlook Folder
Hi Everbody, been a while since my last cry for help so here it goes, I am having problems trying to search through a list of Email Items in VB6, I think the problem is to do with the Date Format, but I have tried various Syntax's including #'s, single quotes etc but I'm getting no where. Can anybody tell me how to use the Find command or Restrict command to get the first record which matches the SenderName and ReceivedTime, this is what I have got so far but just keeps reporting the error ;

Run-Time Error -2147352567

Type mismatch or the value "975116649" in the condition is not valid.

Set EItems = EFolder.Items.Find("[SenderName] = '" _
& ListViewEmails.SelectedItem.SubItems(1) & "' AND [ReceivedTime] = #" _
& ListViewEmails.SelectedItem.SubItems(3) & "#")

ListView values are :

ListViewEmails.SelectedItem.SubItems(1) = "Smith, Bob"
ListViewEmails.SelectedItem.SubItems(2) = "25/01/02 14:56:23"

Please help . . .

Create Folder In Windows Through Visual Basic M.S. Access
I have code that will save data from a Microsoft Access form to an excel file on a U drive. I wanted to make a folder for all of these files but wonder if there was a way to have Visual Basic create a folder if the folder doesn't already exist and if it does exist then do nothing. Is this a possibility?

Here's my code to save the excel file.

Code:

Dim stDocName As String
Dim Location As String
Location = "U:Surplus_" & VendorCode & "_" & Format(Now, "mmm-dd-yyyy") & ".xls"
stDocName = "qrySURPLUS"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "qrySURPLUS", Location

How To Get The Currently Selected Item In An Notes Folder From Visual Basic

&"Can't Lock File&" Error For Database Using Visual Basic
Ok, I have searched this board for a while now trying to find the answer, and it seems that no one has really answered the problem at hand. I am running a vb6.0 app on serveral windows 2000 boxes that all must connect to an access database. i have tested the program here on my local machine (as a single user on the database) and the program runs fine, not a bug in site.

I installed the same program on another machine here on the network, and it worked fine as well. We both opened the program at the same time, modified the database at the same time, and everything, and still everything works fine. these tests were run on windows xp boxes.

The solution I need is this. I am delivering this software to another company where like i said, they are using 2000 boxes. when one user tries to open the program, they get the can't lock file error. they now have full control of the database (the it guys over there were big on security and had the security controls down to basically read-only). yet still, it doesn't work. the catch is this, the it guys who have administrative privileges, as well as the supervisor, run the program with no gliches.

Does anyone have an answer to any of this. Is it because of the Windows xp deal? is it because of the visual basic way of dealing with the database (I am dao for this one, i could change to ado if necessary), or is it because the users don't have admin privileges (as a side note, i do not have admin privileges on the network here at work, and in fact the database was stored in a very secured folder on the network when it was running here)

any help would be great

thanx

Dir Function Puts A Lock On The Folder
one more minor problem i was facing

when ever i use the dir function to get the file present in the said location . It locks the folder and the lock does not free till the application ends . now in my application there is a point where one can go and change the folder so in that place my application breaks

is there a way to circumvent that problem

i mean if the code says

dim dinesh as string

dinesh = dir ("c:dineshnegi estpanaceahelp.txt")

then after this command is executed

subdirectory panacea get locked by the application and then stays that way until the application ends

is there a way to unlock the lock on the folder

one way is to do away witht he use of dir fucntion all together
and use filesystem object

but i was looking for something so that i can still continue using the dir function

any ideas abt that

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

What Are Advantages Of Visual Basic .net Over Visual Basic 6.0?
I am thinking of installing Visual Basic.net (standard version) in place of Visual Basic 6.0. I dont know what are the disadvantages of it and I am hesitating to do that. I thought that I should ask the forum before making this decisions.

Would someone help me to know the followings.
1. If I install VB.net, and if I do programming in VB.net, will I be able to run it in Visual Basic 6.0?

2. Can I do everything that I do in Visual Basic 6 in Visual Basic .net?

3. Are there things that I can do in Visual Basic . net which can not be done in Visual Basic 6.0?

4. Would you recommend Visual Basic.net in place of Visual Basic 6.0?

Thanks in advance.

Basic Question About Excel Macros And Visual Basic
I have a macro in Excel that takes some input on data ranges and produces charts based on the input. I want to place those charts (a number of them are generated) at a certain point in my excel worksheet. I know I can nudge it over by a certain amount but I can never tell where Excel will place them so I would like to just say "hey chart, sit here". Being able to do that in relation to cells would be great. Also, I would like to know if there is any way to resize the chart without using the percent. Once again, in realtion to cells would be great. Thanks for your help.
