creo que seria más facil ayudar si nos dices que error te da y que tipo de bases de datos usas, y estaría bueno que pusieras el pedazo de código donde sale el error...



Saludos!!!

creo que te refieres a crear una estructura:

Código [Seleccionar] Expandir


type Structura
   algo as Integer
end type



dim variable as structura


igual y checa lo de las enumeraciones en la ayuda del VB

??? y no estará mal instalado vb6, o a lo mejor se daño alguna librería, deberías tratar de reinstalar visual y los services pack



otra cosa. ese error es en tiempo de ejecución o tambien durante el diseño ??????

el commondialog es un control que viene dentro del archivo COMDLG32.ocx, ahora que si lo que quieres es crear es control mediante código pues lo puedes hacer mediante el uso de api's:

en un módulo pones:

a ver si eso resuelve tu duda....

Me sale error "371"

No se puede usar el objeto especificado como un formulario propietario para Show()

Tambien probe con:

Código [Seleccionar] Expandir

FormBuscar.Show  , FormMDIChilListados

Y sigue arrojando error

te falta un parametro
FormBuscar.Show --->>> vbmodal <<<-----, FormMDIChilListados

pues ahora si que el MDI es el papa de todos

creo que tendrías que poner

Código [Seleccionar] Expandir


FormBuscar.Show  vbmodal, FormMDIChilListados


Gracias Jareth, este es un buen comienzo 

hablando de detactar ips ¿como se le haría para saber en una red local cuantas pc's estan conectadas y sus Ip's?

pues yo te recomendaría que le siguieras con VBnet, alcabo que afinal de cuentas todos vamos para allá...

pero si le cambian la fecha a la pc puede seguir ejecutandose
