Rocket Boy, I've got the routine you need. It was written in 1986 by a group of us at Citibank-Mexico as a challenge. Instead of an array of window ID numbers like you have, they array contained train wagon numbers. You select a wagon number, it gets moved to the head of the train, and the rest of t...

You're a riot, Seb!

Alright, I have an array that's like... Array(1 to 30) as Integer I want to use it to keep track of the Z-Order of windows in a GUI. So, the idea is each of the elements of that array hold an ID number of a given window, the top one being 1. What I'm looking to do, is a way to put the ID of the win...

A lot of that music is still popular here in Puerto Rico. :) Yes, like: Borinquen, la tierra del eden............ En mi viejo San Juan................ And many merengues. Actually the merengue originated in Dominican Republic, but Puerto Rico made them famous, like: A mi me dicen el negrito del Bat...

My taste in music is quite different from what you guys have mentioned. I listen to a radio station here in Mexico that plays classic Spanish and Latin American oldies like: BOLEROS, such as: Basame Mucho Noche de Ronda Quiereme Mucho Quisiera Ser Y (Y que hiciste del amor que me brindaste....) Sabo...

With your experience with QB, you'll be the resident expert.

I did some searching and found the following. 1) In European mythology, TROLLS were once feared creatures that lived in the dark forest. Today they are little dolls sold in novelty shops. 2) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the context of the Internet, a TROLL is a person who posts inflamma...

Not quite, Mystik, I'm 66. Been programming since 1961. Began using a variation of Dartmouth Basic in 1969, then later, many other dialects of Basic.

Seb, You used my code on the following line, but you modified the original > 23 to > 24. This does not work. I put the > 23 back and it now works. IF ToHour > 24 THEN ToHour = ToHour - 24: Day$ = "+1": GOTO GotHour A minor point, you misspelled "military time" as "militairy ...

Can't wait to see it, Seb.

As a rule, we don't help people with homework, like Z!re said. It sounds like homework to Z!re and to me too. If it's not homework, then what is it? Explain, and we'll help you.

Seb,

An improved version from you will certainly be welcome. However, any new version from you will not compete for second place, since you already have the first place position.

BTW, I won't start testing your new version(s) until you let me know which is the definitive final version.
*****

Yes. See my last post in Timezone Calculator thread.

Is this competition still going> It says so in the latest issue of QB and I qould like to submit an entry. Sure, go ahead and submit your entry. :D We already have announced a winner, but we could use a good second place solution. Kindly register and sign in before submitting your entry, so we know...

Currently I'm using: SUB Delay (Value as integer) t! = timer do: loop while timer - t! < Value end sub When I use under .5 it doesn't work and I need a delay that works for say .2 secs or so. grtz Seb Looking at your code, I notice that "Value" is an integer. Therefore, it will never work...

Seb,

I'm running XP, but this should work on other Windows versions.

1) Get into the Control Panel.

2) Click on "System".

3) There's a little section there called "Computer" which contains the processor type, processor speed, and the number of megs of RAM.

I prefer to publish only new / original content in QB Express. In fact, the only submissions I've ever turned down are ones where people submit oher people's articles that they've found on the Internet...I just don't want to make a magazine out of old content. However, I will occasionally print old...

Excuse my ignorance..........

Seb, How about an Iomega Zip Drive? They used to be very popular but now hardly anybody uses them. Maybe one of your friends still has one that he's not using and maybe you could borrow it or buy it very cheap. If I recall they used to sell for about $179. First check if you can still buy the disk c...

What is flash?
