    Drop-down calendar option for setting dates.

    Drop-down calendar option for setting dates.

    So far the only possible solution I found is: 1. export the date field into VB6 2. in vb6 app create an instance of DTPicker (described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa231249(VS.60).aspx ) 3. pass back the selected date. It would require a lot of steps though b/c the only way I...

    Exporting To Excel.

    Thanks so much sdjensen. You set me on the right path to finding an answer. I started pocking around and found out that in the new version of the software the program gets installed into "C:\program files..." directory where in old one it goes straight into "C:\..." and the thing it didn't like...

What was the purpose of it? when I try removing the no-error from DDE initiate it gives me an error "DDE initiate failed (3153)", so you think its...

    retrieving the last record from the field.

    Thanks for reply Tom. actually the column I have is called pack-no, and numbers are assigned in order. So the hard way could be sort the column and give me the larges number... But how would I go about coding that? :D. Also would it be hard to index the whole column and reference it in my code...
