well I just lied to my computer and told it that it was 2 minutes to daylight savings time.
I then clocked in on a timekeeping app which measures time as seconds from a date literal (in this case...

If you use date diff to find a number of seconds :
secs=DateDiff("s", #1/1/2000#, Now) does Vb take note of auto daylight saving?
If you call on this line before and after the clock change, does...

Yes, I think mistake must be that something else was opening the port. I exited everything I could find and then got it to work logically.
Thanks all for help.

How do you get mscomm to open ?

(form has command button and mscomm control.)

Com_Click
Mscomm1.Output=Chr$(27)

this gets error 8018, operation valid only when port is open. Fair enough, so...

I have an app which uses mscomm to control a barcode reader connected to 9 pin serial port.
However, most scanners available now are USB or keyboard wedge ps2. I have seen posts about getting an...

Thanks Nick
Advice there was to un register and re register the ocx

(Click Start, click Run, and type regsvr32 /u imgedit.ocx. This unregisters the control.
Click Start, click Run, and type...

If I try to add the Kodak Image Edit control (or Image Admin control) to my project I get the message " Name conflicts with existing module,project or object library". I get this as well on a new...

Re viewing tiffs:
The only Image admin/ image edit controls in my available references are Kodak Image Admin Control and Kodak Image Edit Control.
If I tick either of these I get the message: Name...

Open your project. On menu bar click project and choose references from drop down menu. Look in list and tick box for faxadmin 1.0Type Library and faxcom1.0 Type Library ( you may not need both,...

I have trawled the fora and found simple code to open word, add template and text

If you add the jpg to a .doc (I should have said, I tried this already) then you get a fax sent with over 2000 pages!!! (at least there is plenty of time to stop it)

First wrinkle to sort put with fax code: code as supplied by cjard handles .txt , .doc and .tif files Ok but fails on .jpg. Is this posibly because I dont have the correct viewer associated with the...

cjard fabulous!!!
worked for me first time (after i had added a ref to faxcom library1.0 - is this what you need to make yours work?)
This should be first port of call for anyone looking at vbfax....

Thanks to all for pointers. Link provided by cjard looks very good, if I can ever find time to go through it all. Having to run Outlook (or call it) is not any different from using the fax wizard (ie...

$799 is a lot if you are the only client. Faxing using reassign printer method is free, just a little inelegant.
Anyway I thought the idea was to design things for yourself. Re-inventing the wheel...

Still looking for an answer to hoary old problem, sending fax via vb app.
So far setting printer to fax in code is the only one that works. However this does not send fax, just brings up fax wizard....

Hi thread 1,
Yes tried code you suggested but it still does not print.
I tried asking

printer.print sFormattedText

and also posting sFormattedText into a multi line text box and printing...

Nothing wrong with vbCrLf ( or vbnewline either). The question is how do you put them in?
Make a form with a multiline textbox and command button.

Thank u thread1 for pointer. I have used rxbagain`s code to extract a line (and I suppose I can loop through each line in turn) sowhat i need to be able to do is : at the end of tyoing into a...

When typing into a multiline text box vb does not insert a newline character automatically as the text wraps (it does this when you press carr return and go to a new line) so when you come to print...

yes, re two references but by trial and error i found that faxcom1.0 was the one needed to make code react: however i dont suppose having two ticked is a problem and they may even be necessary.
p.s....

I just found it in references and ticked box. Maybe not available in your version of VB (mine is VB6). Anyone else help?

the reference i have is faxcom 1.0Type library
