Hoping someone has experienced this before and can offer a solution.
I have an app. that was designed in vb6. The app works with data from a SQL server, retrieves the data using the adodc (MSADODC.OCX) control and displaying data using the datagrid control.(MSDATG RD.OCX)
Have had no problems to date with windows xp,successfully installed on more than 30 pc's all running windows xp, with the exception of 3 windows xp client machines where i recently installed it and the datagrid control just doesnt display any text! I know the adodc recordset has information to display based on a recordcount,the grid loads and is registered correctly... no errors but simply has no text in it?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Many Thanks...

A missing font on those machines, perhaps?
I supose that depends on what you mean when you say "no text". Is there definitely no data in there, or is it just not visible?

according to me, if a font is missing, the program will take ms sans serif as standard
seems more like there is no data

Hi there thanks for replying...
There is 100% certain data that the grid should be showing... as the datagrid's datasource is an adodc control linking to a SQL table that has info in it.
And this is confirmed as the app works fine with the identical grid and data request working on all but three Windows XP machines.
The Datagrid loads but shows no recordselectors and the text that should be in the grid isn't visible.
Hope this makes sense!
Initially i thought it might VirusScan which was stealing the text due to buffer overflow protection, i uninstalled the anti-virus software tho and it made no change so im stuck?any ideas? Thanks again

do the headers come from your database table?

hi thanks for replying...
yes the headers come from the table! its weird the app works everywhere else fine...have tried regitering newer versions of the msdatgrd.ocx and the msadodc.ocx with regsvr32...stil l does the same! ive even bundled the app with a vs.net 2003 msi setup file...re-installed it...same thing...this still doesnt explain why it works on all other pc's! could it have something to do with their windows user account? have also tried giving "Everyone" read and right permissions in the security options for the installation directory with no results.

now i'm going to suggest some things which you already did (maybe)
password protected database?
create a new connectionstrin g
(very stupid) your datagrid forecolor? or even fontsize?
Halu... I'm a new member of this forum. I just read your post about the datagrid that doesn't show data from the database. And definitely, I can't answer that question because I myself is a beginner in Visual Basic Programming. I'm here to ask you something... It's all about creating a backup files to a storage device...
Can you please give me a sample code for creating a backup files to any storage device like CD ROMs, Floppy Disk, Flash Drives using Visual Basic 6.0... I am using a database created in MS Access 2003 Version. The Provider I used is the Microsoft JET OLEDB 4.0
By the way, about the datagrid... Are you sure that the recordset has retrieved the data you want? Have you tried checking if the recordset is empty or not?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
