| I have recently bought VB6 and am teaching myself. I have programmed a lot in
previous years with (Sharp MZ80K) BASIC and a language on the original PSION
Organiser called OPL so I understand structures sub routines etc etc. I
understand VB and how to create forms and displays but nowhere can I find a
book that will provide me with the exact code to perform calculations for
example.
Like, how do I set a number to show as a decimal with a fixed number of
decimal places? There must be a resource somewhere I can use.
I realise that there is a massive resource on the web for routines/functions
previously written but finding an exact one surely is not particularly time
efficient?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Have you tried using VB's Help file? Show the Index, type in 'numbers'
and see what they offer. If you see something like 'formats' that may be
what you are describing...

| The MSDN that came with visual basic is an excellent help too. You click
Help under visual basic development environment. You can also look here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
You are looking for a format function so type in Format and it should lead
you to the area of coding numeric formats.
