[VB6] Help?

[SubNoize]

Hey if anyone knows anything about VB6 could you please let me know. I'm making a program for a school assignment but if all goes well i might release it. (it's for counter strike)

I'll give you more info once i know who can help me. This may be simple VB6 so yeah. I'm noobish and can't find any good tutorials.

Hey Chem, make me a program that a business could use for their employees to fill in their shift details. So that at the end of a shift, they select whether they are casual, part-time, full-time, then input hours done and then apply time and a half and double time for casuals if needed and overtime for the part-time and full-time employees if needed. This all has to be confirmed through the use of a password that managers will have, so before this information can be saved a password needs to be inputted. Also there should be a button that says "I am finished for the week" or some shiz, so that all their information (hours worked at normal rate, hours worked at time and a half, total hours, total cash earnt, date, etc etc) can be outputted onto a form.

Im bad at VB Thanks in advance, yours truly,

Smith

EDIT: Ohh and somewhere there needs to be details saved off employees, and managers, so that there can be a drop-down menu when first using to select who you are/your id number before you can start. and of course a manager file so that you can save passwords in their for different managers.

Yeah I'm pretty good with VB6. Give me some more information and I'll let you know what I can do, and in reply to Smith, same as Chemical Nova, how much? =P.

Maybe do it through www.rentacoder.com and I'll consider it as well.

i dont know how similar VB6 is to the .net, but theres a way to create a .txt file, save and recall upon typing something.
its probably a lot more basic than what you are looking for but its somewhere.

Here is just very basic reading and saving text files.

Dim iFileNumber As Integer
Dim sAns As String
Dim x As Long
Public Function ReadFileContents(FileFullPath As String) As _
   String
'sfilecontents = ReadFileContents("C:\chiko.txt") EXAMPLE
If Dir(FileFullPath) = "" Then Exit Function
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    iFileNumber = FreeFile
    Open FileFullPath For Input As #iFileNumber
        sAns = Input(LOF(iFileNumber), #iFileNumber)
        ReadFileContents = sAns

ErrorHandler:
    Close #iFileNumber
End Function
Public Function SaveTextToFile(FileFullPath As String, _
 sText As String, Optional Overwrite As Boolean = False) As _
 Boolean
'SaveTextToFile "C:\My Documents\MyFile.txt", "Hello There" EXAMPLE
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim iFileNumber As Integer
iFileNumber = FreeFile

If Overwrite Then
    Open FileFullPath For Output As #iFileNumber
Else
    Open FileFullPath For Append As #iFileNumber
End If

Print #iFileNumber, sText
SaveTextToFile = True

ErrorHandler:
Close #iFileNumber
End Function

I'm hoping/assuming you know how to work the functions via the examples its pretty basic.

its funny, ive done vb6, .net, asp.net, java all at tafe in software dev, now im at uni and im doing xds modula 2...Ive made somethign similar to what smith was asking, il see if i can dig it up and of course, il help out with anything you guys need.

While im here, does anyone know how to disable the vb.net just in time debugger, its pretty dam annoying when css crashes and .net becomes the hero and tries to debug the game.

I'd advise moving forward to VB.net, and free too if you go for VS express.

..again, this is a school assignment. You can't just change the rules of the assignment.
