Cool Simple Question


I know this question is simple but because i am using a free version of VB from microsofts website i do not have access to the vb help file.
What i want to do is to know the length of a string called speach.

r = Len(speach)

Good Luck

Hi my name is LJ. I was reading your post about using the dim speech statement and, noticed that you said you got a free download of VB from Microsoft's site. I was just wondering if you could give me the link so I can do the same. Thanks

is this some kind of demo with limited features, or is it the whole kaboodle that confines u from creating an executable?

Visual Basic 5 Control Creation Edition is the whole thing.
You can create controls and executables.
Both can be compiled.
I was quite suprised when I found it.
