Visual Basic/Post Question

Ask Richard Rost a Question about Visual Basic

Important:

Please read the following and "Instructions from the Expert" carefully before you post the question:

  • Please don't set your question to private unless it will personally identify you. The public questions will get high priority to be answered and can benefit more users. Don't put your personal information in the question.

  • After you submit your question, we'll send you an email as a receipt. You will be notified when the answer is ready. Please make sure your email server does not block or filter out emails from allexperts.com.

  • AllExperts is a 100% free site. Our experts spend lots of time to answer your questions. We ask only that you thank and rate the volunteer's answer upon your return.

Instructions from the Expert:

- NO private questions
- NO questions about Word or Excel VBA
- NO questions about VB.NET, VB 2005, or VB 2008
- NO questions about Crystal Reports or printing in VB
- NO homework questions
- Do not ask to send me your program to look at
- Do not post more than a few lines of source code
- Be specific and direct
- ONE question per day, per person please
- Followups should be about the initial question, NOT a new question
- VISUAL BASIC 6.0 QUESTIONS ONLY!

If you ask me a specific question, I'll try to give you a specific answer. If you ask me something vague, like "how do I build a program?" then all I'm going to do is point you in the direction of a tutorial.

I won't read through 100 lines of your code looking for errors, so don't post it all here. I'm not able to write complex code for everyone (a few lines, maybe, but please don't ask me for whole programs). I'll help to get you started, but I'm not here to build your whole project for you.

I won't accept a copy of your program if you try to email it to me. Again, I'm here to answer questions - not troubleshoot your programs for you.

I can answer questions pertaining to Visual Basic 6.0, Access VBA, and the VB Language in general. I do NOT use VB.NET or VB 2005/08 yet, so don't ask me any questions specific to those. Also, I don't do a lot of macro programming in EXCEL or WORD VBA, and I do NOT use Crystal Reports.

I get a LOT of questions asked of me, and I want to be able to help everyone, but I can't spend half an hour answering each question. So please, keep your questions brief, and expect a short BUT SWEET answer! :)

I sometimes get 20 or 30 questions a DAY, so it can take me anywhere from a few days to a week to get back to you. If you need an URGENT answer FASTER, visit my web site at http://www.599cd.com/TechHelp/AllExperts
