hi,
sorry to late reply... i already tried the method you mentioned.. & i was in research of that for last 2 - 3 days & atlast i found a small solution but big toooo....
sometimes the currency will show 2 decimals even we set the custum style.. so we have to convert that to string & display it.. so the solution is:
totext({fieldname},3,'','.')
if you want 4 decimal place , replace 3 to 4 , also comman (,) instead of dot(.) replace last ( '.' ) to ( ',' )
cheers..

I've built a VB.NET (VS8 2005) program, and I need it to put the program on Mac OSX (the machine is powerbook G4). I know it is possible with the use of Mono framework. But the setup and converting instruction is frustratingly unclear and confusing, or almost none; can anyone here tell me how to do this, please? Thank You.

The .NET Framework is Microsoft's implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure standard. Mono is an open source project that also implements the CLI standard. Mono is modeled after the .NET Framework but is NOT a 100% compatible replacement for it. You cannot expect an app written under the .NET Framework to "just work" under Mono. The windowing system in Windows is not the same as on any Linux machine, therefor the entire System.Windows namespace in the .NET Framework's base class library cannot be expected to run under Linux. There is an implementation specific to Linux under the same namespace name (I think!) under Mono, but it works differently.
Your app will more than likely need modifications to make it work under Mono. What those modifications are cannot be documented because no documentation can predict what your code is going to do or how it will use Mono's base class library. It's a matter of compiling the app under Mono, see what errors it spits out and fixing the code.

You can also set up Mono on a Windows PC and do your testing there before you deploy to your Mac.

I have developed a simple VB 2005 Utility to Automate the backing up of express databases. Just provide me with a address to send it (I do not have a website) and I will send you the exe file with wizip. It reqires xp sp2 and .Net framework 2 to run.

Nice...
You can just publish its code as an article.

Write up an article and submit it. Bear in mind that many people would probably not be eager to run an .exe that they don't know. With your article, send in the source code as well.

I’m not a programmer or a formal student, rather I’m a 48 year old that loves to tinker, and has no programming experience per say. What I need is to know where to find VB6 examples of a program similar to what I have described below to teach me how to create my application in VB6. If none of them exist or are readily available, than I need some basics to get me started and figure out how to create my desired program using the basic examples provided with the hardware I’m working with.
I’m attempting to create a program that will allow me to use the data from sensors connected to an interface board (Phidgets 8/8/8) primarily pressure & oxygen sensors, and with the data I receive from the sensors I will use that information to control servos with the same interface based on preset values or ranges automatically. The Phidgets Interface Kit 8/8/8 comes with software examples / basic software interfaces written in VB6 so you can receive data and view sensor input changes which I’m doing now. It also makes available similar modest software to control the servos. My endeavor is to use the software / code examples provided in VB6 to create a more advanced program that will allow me to monitor, record / document, automate and control my device through the servos based on the sensor information.
Below are examples of the general interface code and the servo controller code provided with the hardware.

' different inputs and outputs!

' apparant sensitivity of the sensor (although it may get jittery
' if you stretch it too far)

Best to dump VB6 since it is not supported anymore.

Probably the best place to look for examples would be the manufacturers website. I took a quick look at it and they have a forum where you can ask questions. You could try google but many of the examples are probably not going to be usefull if they are not for your particular package since they won't be using the phidgets api.
Speaking as a self taught programmer myself, here would be my advice. I would say that trying to learn by osmosis (looking at code examples) is not the best way, you need to learn a few basic concepts which I will list below. Most of these basic elements will occur in any program regardless of what it does. The thing that differentiates programs is less the basic elements you use but rather how they are combined. I would advise going to the library and getting a vb book or at least looking up these terms on the internet.
1) What are variables and arrays and what is variable scope?
2) What are subs/functions/methods and events? What are arguments/parameters? What is the difference between passing by value and passing by reference?
3) What are conditional statements (ie if then else elseif ect...)
4) What are loops (both for next and do loops)?
5) What do the commands NOT, AND, OR, and XOR mean?
6) How to write mathmatical expressions and how to write strings?
7) What are modules?
Finally you need to learn how to use the program itself, how to drop controls onto a form, and sometimes overlooked how to use the debugging tools (ie breakpoints, stepping through ect...)
There are many other items I could have added but those are definately the most important commands and are central to virtually every program. Once you learn them you should be able to write some simple programs and understand alot of the code and documentation that comes with your kit.
One last thing; although vb6 may be a tad easier to use it is going to be harder to find code examples for it because it was replaced by vb.net some years ago, you might want to consider switching. If you do you can download the express version for free off microsoft's website.

You are going to have to do some kind of animation/paint trick to do so. How to do so is out of the scope of a forum post...

Hello sir
Thank you for your rep.
As you said need some annimation and paint work so i can create rectangle, with different background but main problem is how to ennimate i know that it's involve lot of maths
and i am not very good in math, So can you please give any web site so i can search on it ?
waiting for your kind rep.
thanks

It shouldn't involve any real serious math like partial differential equations or anything like that. Maybe just some transformations, which can be relatively easy. http://www.mathworld.com[^] is a good reference. As far as websites on how to do page flipping, I don't really know of one. Have you tried a basic google search?
I don't have actual code how to do it, but just trying to give some ideas how it could be accomplished and that could be through some animation tricks.

Hi,
I have been working on a small application to monitor the file system and I cam across a problem. To monitor the file system I am using the File System Watcher component (I have named it filesystem) and I used the "EnableRaisingEvents" property inside a Button_Click Event to allow the user to enable/disable it. But for some reason it only half works:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If filesystem.EnableRaisingEvents = True Then
filesystem.EnableRaisingEvents = False
Else
filesystem.EnableRaisingEvents = True
End If
End Sub
When I click the button it disables the File System Watcher and if I click it again it throws an error saying "The path is not of a legal form". I've tried to stop this but watever I do it always throws the error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Make sure the Path property contains a valid path.

Hi,
Thanks for that, I didnt have a clue before why it would'nt work!
Thanks,

You're welcome.
The only thing I did was rephrase the error message...

Hi everyone,
I am working on billing project.
I want to print calculated amount in words for Reports.
Reports are generated in Crystal Report 8.0
e.g.
Amount = 6,45,840/- Rs.
In Words “Six Lakhs Forty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Only.”
Currently I am using to “towords()” function to convert numeric value to string.
Current I am having two problems.
1) Numeric values are not displaying properly
values like 6,45,000 are displaying as 645,000. I am not able set thousand separate for values in Lakhs.
2) Words are not correct for values like 100,000 i.e. One Lakh and so on.
e.g.
If the Amount = 6,45,840/- Rs.
It is printing Words as “Six Hundred forty-five thousand eight hundred forty only”
Instead of “Six Lakhs Forty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Only.”
Please tell me how to solve this problem.
I am using Crystal Report 8.0 as Reporting tool and Visual Basic 6.0
