Hi all,

Another tricky question - tell me, is it possible to disable the "shift" keys? Reason I ask is because I'm starting an MS-Access database in the background and I have to open a password...

Is it possible to change the forecolor of individual letters in a Rich Textbox? Suppose, for example, the user types "The cat in the hat". My program, interrogating the word...

Hi TinBum,

I did initially toy with the idea of shelling, but then I'd have to "WaitForCompletion", make sure the DOS box closes, etc.

The name function works brilliantly!

I grabbed some...

Thanks for reading it though!

I have a situation where I may need to move files owned by a user.

For example, user "fred" may own the following files in the "FR" directory:-

Live and learn...

Thanks for the answer!

Hi guys,

I have a listview with three columns.

A user may double-click a row to remove that row from the listview (and all rows below move up to take the deleted row's place).
