How can I set the default to be on current date when form loads

TheFinder — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:29:29 +0000

I’m using Microsoft Calendar Control 9.0 in Visual Basic 4 and would love some help on getting the calendar to show current date as the default date when it loads. Every thing else seems to work just fine, but I can’t get it to default to current date, it seems to be stuck on the date that the calendar was added to the form, it allows me to click another date after it’s loaded, but I need it to load current day as default. Can someone help me please? My question is this, how do I tell it to default to current date at form_load(). Thank you all for your help.

Adding a check for updates to program

TheFinder — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:51:51 +0000

I have a program that has a check for updates button and what it does is brings up the updates page on the internet and then the person can check the dates to see if it’s newer then theirs. What I want to do is more like as follows; Person clicks the check for updates button and it goes out and checks and then msgbox’s the user if your up to date or not. Not bring you to the web page for updates. Can some one explain the best way to do this and what programs are needed? Thank you for your efforts.

Hi People again,

I’ve got a program I did in Visual Basic 4 that I’ve recently modified parts of, the parts modified were like so, a person would click a certain button and a form.html would come through the internet and pop up on the screen as well another VB form as well popped up with some numbers that they would manually have to copy and past these numbers into the form.html and then hit submit on the form.html. I would like some help on coding or scripting to where when persons pressed the button the form.html would be already in the directory that they installed my program in, instead of the net, I can do that, first of all, and when they pressed button this form.html would popup and the numbers that they normally type in, would automatically be attached to my form.html so all they have to do is fill out there names e-mails etc.. and hit submit
