Error 70: ACCESS DENIED In WINDOWS VISTA
Hi:
I've got a problem with VB6 application. It was developed under XP using VB6 and MS ACCESS 2003.
I've installed my application in a PC using WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC, the application starts and runs ok ....the databases are locate on another folder, different from the folder application....when I try to save data to the database I receive an error "ERROR 70: ACCESS DENIED"......and checking this issue in the MSDN FORUMS, I found some suggestions to check......one of them recommends that verify the properties of the folder where the databases resides...well, I notice that the MDB files had the read only property ...then I uncheck the read only property of every file.....after that I check the folder property and I saw that has a grey box on read only check box....I disabled that property...then press APPLY button....I run the app and receive the error again. I check the property of the folder again and has a grey box on read only check box, according the MSDN FORUMS is normal status including in XP and VISTA.....I made everything to apply all policies to the users and owner the folder....and nothing....then I communicate with MICROSOFT SUPPORT LATIN AMERICA via TELEPHONE....and they told that the problem is with my app .... I run the app in my laptop accessing to the database folder that resides in a pc with windows VISTA and I don't receive any error message...I could make a database transaction with no problem.....the problem is when I run the app in VISTA trying to save data in the MDB that resides local folder (VISTA)
Does anybody can give some ideas to verify or change the code?
Thanks.
Wave Files And Vista. Some Working And Some Not Working. Strange.
Hello everybody,
I have an application with embedded in the ressource file wave files. I use PlaySound to play them. This works perfectly up to Windows Xp.
Recently I have a friend testing the application on Vista. Certain files are not playing, and others are.
Any ideas why some would play and some wouldn't? It seems very strange.
Here is the code. It works for some wave files and not others
VB Code:
Call PlaySound("MY_EMBEDDED_WAVE_FILE", App.hInstance, SND_RESOURCE Or SND_NOWAIT Or SND_NODEFAULT Or SND_ASYNC)
Windows Vista And Windows Media Player Sound Problems?
I have an VB6.0 application which interacts with WMP control with no problems. Basically, I can play video or mp3 files through my application and can even adjust the sound levels via the "Wmplayer1.settings.volume" property.
Now, my friend recently installed Windows Vista and then installed my application and indicates the sound is no longer heard through my application anymore. If he plays a song directly using Windows Media Player (ie: outside of my application) then the sound can be heard fine.
So .... does Windows Vista interact with Windows Media Player in differrent ways when handling audio/sounds now? Does anyone know why playing a song using a WMP object in VB6.0 no longer allows sound anymore?
** Can someone else verify whether sound in Windows Vista can be heard when VB6.0 is used to interact with a WMP control?
Thanks for an insight you can provide me since I do not have Windows Vista and I am trying to determine if any compatibility problems need to be addressed .....

Vista Error: "program Is Not Working" And App "has Run Out Of Time"
Client is running my vb6 app on Vista (in XP compatibility mode), and is getting an error that indicates the app "has run out of time and shuts the program down" (her words). This happens in a very specific section of the pgm that no xp machines report errors in.
Separately, on (attempted) startup, she gets the message that the app "has stopped working, where Windows will close the program and notify me later if a solution is available." But the solution is "as easy as allowing the program to close then re-opening it back up"

RegEnumValue Not Working Under Vista
I realised that RegEnumValue doesn't return anything in Vista when it is compiled.
It works when run in the IDE.
But when I compile the application, it always returns 0 although in the IDE it returns the amount of Values there are in the key.
Ive tried with Admin access, even a manifest with requireAdministrator, but still returns 0.
Is there a way round this ?
Code:
'NOTE: Uses the RegOpenKeyExW version
'Decs
Private Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyExW" _
(ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As Long, ByVal ulOptions As Long, ByVal samDesired As Long, phkResult As Long) As Long
Const BUFFER_SIZE As Long = 255
' Open the registry key
lResult = RegOpenKeyEx(RootKey, StrPtr(strRegKeyPath), 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)
If lResult = 0 Then
Do
'Create a buffer
sSave = String(BUFFER_SIZE, 0)
'enumerate the values
lResult = RegEnumValue(hKey, cnt, StrPtr(sSave), BUFFER_SIZE, 0, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&)
If Not lResult = ERROR_SUCCESS Then

ScreenSaver Quit Working - VISTA
i have this same exact Source Code complied to .EXE
and was working perfectly for about 4-5 months on my
Desktop Vista OS computer up until an hour ago,
now nothing happens when i click the Command Button
in either the EXE or trying to Run it inside VB6 IDE
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, _
ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

Dim StartIt As Long
StartIt = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0&)
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'the command to do it!
Call StScSA
End Sub
the above Code + EXE still works on my LapTop-Vista Computer,
my other various WIN-XP OS Computers,
its just it now quit working on my Desktop-Vista Computer.
the problem started when i Clicked the Command Button to activate
the ScreenSaver...it came on ...but i accidently hit the Mouse with
my hand and turned the ScreenSaver off...now since then it will not
Activate at all using that Code in VB6 or as an EXE anymore !
i tried re-booting many times,
no change..will not work anymore on this one Computer.
The ScreenSaver will still work correctly under Vista at the minutes
you setup or clicking "PREVIEW" , but will not work with the above
Source Code or created EXE.
Any help appreciated !

App Stopped Working Message In Vista When Focus To Listview
Hi,
I have several apps which run on both of my PC's (both are Vista machines).
Since a few days one of my machines gives the messages "app has stopped working" as soon as the focus is set to a populated listview.
I copied the comctl32.* files and comct232.* files from the working machine to the machine with the error but this doesn't help a bit.
I made a small test app; just a form with one single listview. One single line of code to add a single item to the listview and the app shuts down immediately since the listview receives focus at once.
Adding a treeview (or any other control) makes the program run for as long as the focus is not set to the listview.
any clue on how to solve this?!
It must be machine-related since it all works fine on my other PC.

VB6 On Windows Vista
Hello,
I am an intermediate/beginner ,I'm using VB6 and I was wondering if my VB6 apps will work on computers using Vista.
And by the way, do you guys think that everyone using VB6 should move to
VB.Net because it's a natural step or not ? Is it just a matter of individual preferences or it will be necessary sooner or later ? Just wondering.
Thankyou

How To Register Windows API For A VBA App In VISTA
I had a nice application which ran under Office 2003 and noteably outlook 2003 in Windows NT.
My company migrated to VISTA, still with Office 2003.
But my app dosen't run anymore and I get the message under refences that the WINdows API is not available. I also get the message that the function "SLEEP 5" does not exist (basic VBA finction!?).
So the question is how to get the Windows API in the refeence section.
- Do I have to brows to some specific location ?
- Do Ihave to download something (saw something about MDAC, is this related?)
- Does it now have another name that I can search for.
I have to clarify that I don't have the faintes how the list of stuff displayed under references is populated.
Thanks
SendKeys Under Windows Vista
Hello, is it true that the following code:
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then SendKeys ("{TAB}") KeyAscii = 0End IfEnd Sub
generates an error under Windows Vista or on a machine equipped with Internet Explorer 7.0?
What is exactly the error message that you get? And does the error cause the application to shut down if it is not handled?
Unfortunately, I have neither Windows Vista nor IE 7.0 installed on my computer, so I cannot test it by myself.
Any help will be appreciated.

Run Program When Windows Loads (Vista)
Alright, I've always used the following registry setting to have my program run when Windows starts-up:
Quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunMyPro gram (key's value is my program's filepath and " autostarting").
Now unfortunately this does not work on Vista. How can I have my program start when Vista loads? I'd rather stick to the registry. Is there maybe something under Current User I can use?
Shell Command Under Windows Vista
Hi all,
I have a tiny problem with a vba code under Windows Vista. I need a way to start a program using the shell command or something else like this:
Code:
shell("updater.exe", 1)
The problem is, that this is actually an updater program, which has to be started in Administrator mode. Now, when I try to start it like in Win Xp the user doesn't get the UAC Window asking him if he wants to continue starting the program. The Shell command doesn't do anything.
Anybody has an idea how can I accomplish this? (Starting Winword.exe under Administrator privileges solves the problem, but this is of course out of question)

Windows Vista Compatibility Issues...
Hey...
I dont know if this is the correct forum for it.. if it's not can an admin move it please?
Anyway..
I installed Windows Vista Ultimate today and installed VB 6.
I tried to run an older application (the calculator one if you can remember), but it could not load the MS Script Control ... ?
I didn't try any other controls yet but it seems odd that vista doesn't have a standard control by default?
It was in the Components list by the way... just when i selected it it couldn't find the OCX file for it...
If there are more of these issues... what the hell? I thought VB6 would work with windows vista...?
XP Smart Menu And Windows Vista
I'm using XP Smart Menu since a couple of years, but many clients with Windows Vista are experiencing extremelly low responses with it.
For example, if you click on some menu item to list the subitems, the program appears to be stopped and it appears as not responding after a few seconds.
Does anybody knows how to solve this?
I fixed it on my machine but don't know exactly how, because I uninstalled Norton antivirus and I've changed some options from the control panel.

Cool Windows Vista Effect
Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to access a few effects that windows vista uses. My main two would be:
how the screen fades, gets darker when it does taht security check, or asks for privlages
And when you move the cursor over the specified window in the task bar, how it displays a screen shot of the window, the same when you go to the "Switch Between Windows" object.
Ok thanks alot for all the help!
Instalation Trouble Under Windows Vista: Help, Please!
Hi,
Our software works fine for earlier windows version. Last week one of our client upgraded to Windows Vista and has tried to re-install our software and got error message:
The installer includes MSVBVM60.DLL, but in error message MSVBVM50.DLL was required.
Means it that I have to include also the MSVBVM50.DLL into install package?
Thank you in advance.

Launching A VB6 Help File Under Windows Vista
Hello, I have read some articles about compatibility problems between applications developed in VB6 and the upcoming Windows Vista.
The following is an excerpt from the Blog "Nick on Windows Presentation Foundation (Avalon):"
Quote:
As an added layer of defense against malicious software, Windows Vista introduces allows different UI applications to run with three different levels of UI privilege. Applications can freely interact with other applications of the same and lower permission, but can’t modify or talk to applications of higher permission. Most applications will run with the middle permission, while applications that require administrator privileges run in a higher mode, and restricted processes such as low rights Internet Explorer use the lowest privilege mode.
More specifically, applications in lower privilege modes cannot generally send messages to higher privileged applications unless the higher privileged application explicitly allows that message by calling ChangeWindowMessageFilter(). (In the February CTP, RegisterWindowMessage messages were assumed to be allowed between different privilege levels, we’re fixing that in subsequent builds) Similarly, lower privileged applications can read but cannot modify HWNDs owned by higher privileged applications. For compatibility reasons, SendMessage and other APIs will return success even if the API was blocked because of privilege issues. Similarly, where compatibility impact is high and security risk is low we sometimes allow low-privileged applications to send unsolicited messages to high privileged applications.
Things to pay attention to when testing:
(1) Applications that interact with other applications -- utilities that reposition windows, type keystrokes for you, add extra buttons to windows, etc.
(2) Cut and paste between different applications -- does it work at all, and does it support all the different clipboard formats you expect (rich text, HTML, etc.)?
(3) Help -- Does help launch? We've made security changes to winhelp.exe and the WinHelp API, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...ml/AppComp.asp for details.
Internet Explorer plug-ins -- Internet Explorer runs in low rights mode, so plug-ins, ActiveX controls, and document objects that talk to other processes may not work. We recommend testing all plug-ins, ActiveX controls, and document objects, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...ml/AppComp.asp for details.
(4) Journaling hooks – WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK and WH_JOURNALRECORD are inherently cross-process, so require the highest privilege level.
(5) SendKeys in Windows Forms and Visual Basic 6.0 and earlier – As implemented today, these functions rely on journaling hooks, so don’t work if the application is not run with the highest privilege level. We’re currently investigating options here.
What I am particularly interested in right now is point (3), i.e. "Does help launch?" Since security changes have been made to winhelp.exe and the WinHelp API, I don't know whether I have to update my current software which makes large use of standard .hlp files. The way in which I currently launch the online help is by using the following code:
VB Code:
Private Sub cmdHelp_Click() SendKeys "{F1}"End Sub
I'm afraid the code above will not work under Vista because SendKeys is one of those statements that now require the highest privilege level. Nevertheless, the SendKeys problem can be solved by resorting to the API.
What I would like to know is whether a help file can still be launched if the user presses F1 on his keyboard. Since WinHelp.exe has been modified, I would not take for granted that the F1 key is still effective.
If you have Windows Vista, could you please check and let me know?
Any help will be appreciated.

Windows Vista Install Problems
My App uses the VB PDWizard to install. Its been stable for several years now and I've had no problems installing on Windows 98 or XP. However, a customer has just tried installing on Vista and run into problems. The installation program gives the error message "an error occured while installing ITIRCL.DLL". (ITIRCL.DLL is used by the compiled help system).
I thought the problem may be to do with user priveladges, but he says he has an Admininstrator account.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve
Run Program When Windows Loads (Vista)

Now unfortunately this does not work on Vista. How can I have my program start when Vista loads? I'd rather stick to the registry. Is there maybe something under Current User I can use?
