This thread is for discussions of Complete VB Beginners Tutorial.

Great article for someone who knows no programming, with exception of HTML. Obviously, I'm new to the world of VB. I'll be sure to spread the word, should I come across anyone else new. Great site, also.

Thanks for your great article.  Before reading this I had no idea about VB, this has given me a head start, I will surely pass this info on to my friends who are interested in programming.

Thanks again

For the vast majority of your tutorial I had learnt in school (for a school assignment I have to create a program). I did that quickly, but once I got to the challenge exercises I was challenged. I have only created uni-form projects and the idea of moving information from one form to the other was challenging.

I have much more knowledge to add to my head, and it is because of this tutorial. Thank you once again. You have helped my greatly in my assignment.

Thanks James, for a really helpful and very well written crash course. I've been wondering about having a go with VB, and you've convinced me!!

I messed up on this, well this is my first atempt at VB and i have to say right up till i did somthing wrong it was easy to understand and provided much information for begginers. I dont know what i did wrong but i got a compile error saying it expected a list seperator or ).

I put MsgBox "Hello " & txtName.Text & "!" in between the () tags on the cmdOK_Click() command, it didint work but i couldnt see anywere els to put it im proberly making a compleat begginer mistake so i'll keep at it till i figure out what im doing wrong.

Im useing Visual Basic 5.0 CCE if anyone can figure out what im doing wrong =)

This is a common mistake if you have programmed in C, or one of its many variants.  What goes in thevrackets there is any parameters necessary for the sub to work.  To put the message box there, you hvae to do this:
Code:

private sub cmdOK_Click()
MsgBox "Hello " & txtName.Text & "!"
end sub

That should work

Thanks Red Spikey Thing i have done a little C in the past but it didint go very far so thats why im trying VB out, was worried i got the wrong program thanks for the info ive been at this all morning

i use the following code to delete records:
while not adodc1.recordset.eof
   adodc1.recordset.delete adaffectcurrent
    adodc1.recordset.movenext
loop
only after 4 deletion i have always this error:
"runtime error -2147467259(80004005);key coluymn information is insufficient or incorrect. too many rows were affected by update"
how can i solve this error and continue my deletion process?

great stuff !. i don't know how to start and your tutorial just show me that. thanks a lot.
