• Visual Basic Where to ask ? re VB 6

  I want to ask a question about a possible memory leak I am seeing in VB6 but all the forums say "not for VB6". Any direction what forum I can use Thanks, Curt These forums are for VB.NET and there are better places to find answers for older versions of VB. Maybe the VB6 newgroups - http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion&lang=en&cr=US or the VB6 resource center http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbrun/ or web sites such as www.vbcity.com Hope these point you in the right direction. ...Show All

• SQL Server Calculate difference between two rows
