Hi Lars
I made a mistake with the code # for the VB stock ticker article and source
code.
"... There is a very good stock ticker program at http://www.devx.com/ that
is
> written in VB code. Insert code # GS199RS into the "Locator+" window. I've
> downloaded lots of code from there. 1 = first quarter, 99 = year which
> corresponds to magazine issue..."
The "RS" ending is for the bonus code which you need to have a subscription
to the magazine to get.
Use the GS199 code # for easy access. "GS" stands for "Getting Started"
which is the name of the VB magazine.
Try other variations like GS299, GS498, GS398, etc. there are a lot of
projects coded there for you.
Best regards
Walter
