Well, as you're new, why are you using VB6, a dead, unsupported and terrible language ? VB.NET is free.
What you're asking for is not simple, hence the lack of code snippets.

Christian;
It's my understanding vb.NET will not run on Windows 98. Maybe it's time I upgrade??
Robert, still trying

don't know if that's true or not, but it's free, so it's worth trying.
Yes, it's definately time for a new OS.

You are probably right. Before I rush to the computer store, do you know if the vb6 code I have will work in VB.NET and will the compiled .exe from VB.NET work on a Windows 98 machine?

Absolutely not. VB6 was a disaster, Microsoft basically created a whole new language with VB like syntax. There is no clear upgrade path.

I don't know, the 2005 .NET runtime ( which is 2.0 ) may not go back that far.

Well, I guess it's worth a shot & a good reason to get a new computer. Thanks for your time & info.

Just feel I should add my 2c here.
Christian isn't just encouraging you to upgrade for the hell of it. VB6 is old and no longer supported by Microsoft. If you are learning to program then it will teach you some very very bad practices. Also theres a hell of a lot more support around for the .Net environment.

I want to create a database of short tips (Each tip would be a couple of paragraphs with an embedded graphic perhaps); so that I can select from an index and export a tip as a pdf (with appropriate formatting).
What tools can I use to develop this database.
When I read about Crystal Reports and Microsoft Report Services, they all seem to be rather complex and relate to creating reports from data.
Perhaps a short VB.Net program that accesses a folder of word documents would be appropriate? Or, perhaps I should be using VBA in a Word document? I am not sure where to begin, to be frugal with my learning curve.
Your advice please?

Thanks Naji for your prompt reply of assistance. RDL sounds very impressive and requires SQL. I have looked at SQL Express 2005. I believe that I must use both SQL and RDL together to create the reports I want. Will these work with Visual Basic.Net ver 2003. Or, do I need to upgrade to 2005? Or is there a SQL for 2003?
Also, might you be able to show me a "trivial, but useful," example of implementing this into a Visual Basic.net program? Perhaps a database of quotations with embedded clipart?
Or, can you advise where I might find a book or website that will shorten my learning curve?
Thanks for any further guidance you can offer.

Console Application in Visual Studio 2005 as described below.
Create a module “Annuity calculator” that prompts the user and accepts
• the details of a loan amount, a positive integer (with no commas and currency symbols) say 100000 for $100,000,
• the rate of interest as a number, say 7 for 7%, and
• the term of the loan as an integer, like a 10 for a 10 year term.
Then the program computes and displays the annual installment due on this loan using the following formula,
a = (p * (1 + r) ^ n * r) / ((1 + r) ^ n - 1)

You have to do your own homework. Noone is going to do it for you.
If you've got a specific question about a problem with your code, great, ask away!

Module modAnnuityCalculator
Sub Main()
'Variable declaration
Dim rate, instalment As Double
Dim principal, term As Integer
' obtain user input to determine the instalment amount
Console.Write("Enter the required loan amount (with out commas) : $ ")
principal = Console.ReadLine
Console.Write("Enter the desired rate of interest (Eg: for 5% write 5) :")
rate = Console.ReadLine
Console.Write("Enter the loan term (in years) :")
term = Console.ReadLine
'calculates the annual instalment amount
instalment = (principal * ((1 + rate) ^ term * rate)) / (((1 + rate) ^ term) - 1)
Console.WriteLine("Instalment amount due per annum is : $ " & instalment)
Console.Read()
End Sub
End Module
I have written the above code but i am not getting the result. example... let the loan amount be 100000, rate 7.5 and period 20 but the result is not as calculated.
curious to know where is it going wrong ?

|
|
|
|
perhaps it is a fault with the rate, is the rate to be in the form of say 7% or 1.07.
|
|
|
|
|
ok my formula, and yours, had you typed it out more understandably are identical, the problem you are having arises from the fact that you need to divide rate by 100 before subbing it in, so instead of:
rate = console.readline
you need:
rate = console.readline/100

He could count on pmarfleet to do it for him, like his other homework problem.

not gonna tell you how to do it, because it's obviously homework, but there is an alternative formula in the form of:
(p*(r^n)*(r-1))/((r^n)-1)
where r = ((annual rate)/100)+1
I daresay you need to use the given formula though.
You need to find out about working with integers and variables and what not, if you get stuck then ask us a specific question relating to your problem.

Two questions:
1. I want to allow a “user” to be able to change the text, backcolor, and forecolor of a ToolStripButton, ToolStripSplitButton. or a ToolStripTextbox. How do I allow the user to do this? The settings don’t persist when I close the application as they do when I drag a botton or textbox onto the form itself and then make changes to the control.
2. I want to use a property grid to display only the properties I have set up in Applications Settings for each control. How do I accomplish this? All the properties for the control show up on the property grid, not just the properties I’ve set up in the Application Settings.
I’m not a professional programmer. I do this for fun!! The examples I’ve seen don’t really explain much and some of them simply don’t work at all.
Thanks,
I’mRetired
