RE: [Talk] Boston Software and VBA Forms

[McClain, Jeff]

Linda,   I've used Windows Common Controls with BWS in the past.  I'm still pretty new to BWS, but not to VB.  I copy and paste the BWS 'Tools' module into a VB project.  Then paste the script into a module, Form Event, timer event, Command button's click event, or etc.  Add the references to BostonWorkstationVBA, Bss6Share, and WS32 1.0 Type Library(I just make sure that the References for my project match the BWS References).  Then you can use the tools you are used to.   Jeff McClain Controller Memorial Hospital 1101 Michigan Avenue Logansport, IN  46947 Ph:  (574) 753-1732 Fax: (574) 753-1451 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Linda Ralston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Boston Software and Visual Basic   Hi there.  I sent an e-mail through [EMAIL PROTECTED] and wasn't able to get help on my question.   I'll rephrase the question.    When I use Boston Workstation the Visual Basic that comes with it is limited. VBA  rather than Visual Basic.  I am used to using Visual Basic and have written programs that access Microsoft Windows Common Controls.  Specically I am trying to allow the user to open the "File Open" dialog box to pick the file they need to work with.  I can't figure out how to do this with VBA?  Is this a stupid question?   Can you help me?   By the way,  please pass on a Thankyou to your company for the cookies that were sent to our office from Boston Workstation.  They were very much appreciated.   Thanks.   Linda Ralston, ISP Applications Analyst Peace Country Health Grande Prairie, AB Canada
