Going back to VB 6.0 Can't get help here.

[MOOVBUFF]

I've been looking (wasting my time) for simple solutions such as Updating a
database in VS 2005 and all I get is either no answer or another question.
Obviously the people in the newsgroup can't read. At least the people in the
VB 6.0 newsgroup answer without throwing in an insult.

Good Ridance!

Can't help but LOL at this post <g> I've noticed quite a few questions go
unanswered here. There are some prolific posters that answer tons of
questions but they are few and far between (I'd name the people I've noticed
working hard but try to never include a name in a post when that person's
not part of the current thread... even if complimenting because I'm sure to
leave someone out)

You have to admit though that... one of the reasons questions get answered
faster in the VB classic groups is that there's so much more info available
on the web. Since the code's basically unchanged from VB4-32 through VB6,
there are literally billions of lines of code available. It'll be years and
years before that kind of code base is built in any version of .Net (and,
no, the framework does not replace that huge code base)

btw... you can still get insults (in the form of redirections) in the VB6
groups if you post .Net questions there ;-)

Come on back... we "old timers" help when we can... you know, in the VB6
groups, birds are singing, the sky is blue, butterflies attached to each
post, etc, etc and every post is answered with a big bright smile ;-)

I'm sorry you feel ignored here. That's not the typical experience for
posters in this group.
Could you, perhaps refer us to your previous posts, as I'm unable to find
other posts from "MOOVBUF".

In the meanwhile, here is a link to several code examples, some of which
address data access:

I am new (Since toda) to the group and fairly new to VS2005 but I
definetly know how to update a database. I dont know if you are still
interested in getting an answer to your question but if you are still
interested post it here and I will try and help.

I have posted under several different names, I just happened to be using
MOOVBUFF when I placed my post. I may be back in the future but for now I
have lost my enthusiasm but thank you for the reply, it's appreciated.

Thanks for the reply but I've lost my interest for now. Thanks for
responding.

As a VB 6er, I know better than to post .NET questions in the VB6 newsgroup,
but tanks for the response. Maybe see you there.

MoovBuff,

If you have the opinion that people here in this newsgroup cannot read, than
it shows a lot about you.

Is it probably more that you are not able to describe your problems in a way
people can understand it. This newsgroup is filled up with people from all
over the world, which help each other.

Many of them can even understand what is written by somebody who is speaking
three words English and have not any problem with that to take therefore
more time.

Beside that is updating in a disconnected multi-user environment not a
simple question. The one, who ask something here, can ask something about
multi user multi SQL server environments or for a simple one-user Access
application.

The main policy in this newsgroup is being polite to each other and
understand that somebody cannot direct understand a question from which the
code is before the eyes of the one who ask something and while it is not in
the message.

Your current flaming message shows for me that you cannot fulfil that first
rule and than you are right, most of us ignore those. This time because of
the other answers, I took the time to reply.

Just my thought,

Cor

Confession :

I must admit it ,,,, Yes i know how to update databases in several ways as
a Catalogue programmer ( i create my programs from scratch to end product
except the GUI design wher i have a GUI designer for ) , and someone who
works daily with VB 6 and VB.net i might have given you a good answer

However my confessions lies in the fact that i filter the messages that i am
going to respond on with the following criteria

1. A subject that attracts my attention
2. A clear description of the problem
3. A problem i think is interesting to investigate ( sometimes i do not
know the answer but feel it is a good one to investigate and so come up with
an answer )
4. Not already answered , with a clear explanation

the above points will draw my attention , and if i can find some time
bussy bussy i might answer

however if a Post

1. has a non attractive subject
2. has not a clear explanation of the problem
3. has offensive language in it
4. is verry obvious a google might give you the answer straight away

I and i believe manny others over here might loose there interest

i would like to add that i am also active in several other groups VB6 , SQL
etc etc , and that i use the same criteria overe there

so use the above to clarify your posts , another tip would be to stay using
the same name , as this is a comunity and like in normall social life people
like your aproach towards them or not , so a recognition of a person can in
my situation result , in still answering the question even if the above raw
filter criteria are not met

it is all psychology even on the web social behavior ruless

newsgroups

¤ I have posted under several different names,

Posting the same question under several different IDs is typically ignored. I'm not sure why on
earth you would want to do this if you're actually seeking an answer.
