    ASTM A572 Yield Supression

    I am looking at using a structural shape (I-beam) as a support member in a test set up I am working on. Essentially I will have a cantilevered I-beam with a couple of point loads along the span. The only kicker is that it will be operating at elevated temperatures. I am considering using a beam...

    Auto Complete Question

    I have some workbooks of large amounts of data, both numeric and text. The data forms I have used are the generic ones Excel creates on it's own from list headings. One major drawback is that the auto complete does not carry over to the data form requiring typing the full text strings in some...

    Another Hole Note Question

    I know there's been a lot of questions regarding hole notes. I am adding another to the list. I'm using 2001. Is there any way to edit existing hole notes? When I have a not I right click and select properties. In the text box it usually says something along the lines of "Note_#" Is there a...

    Export to DWG Question

    Folks, Is it possible to customize the output format in a drawing that is exported to a DWG? I have to create AutoCAD drawings this way a fair amount and, while it works well, the format is always something I have to go back and change. I would like to change the satndard font and the yellow...

    Carriage Return

    This one has me a bit stumped... Is there a quick and dirty way to emulate a carriage return from an old typewriter? I have about 10 columns of data and when an entry is put in the last column, I'd like the enter or return button to return the cursor to the next row down and 10 columns to the...

    2 quick questions

    2 quickies here...I recently had to roll back from using 2002 to 2000. First off...I got used to, in 2002, having the ability to do a <CTRL>-A to select all elements in a drawing. 2000 doesn't seem to support this. I thought this was a windows based feature, but perhaps I am mistaken. Does...

    Can't Delete

    I'm using AutoCad 2002. Every once in a while, usually when I am working on a big drawing in which I have imported a lot of blocks and such, I get some "remainder" objects that I can not delete. What happens is that I bring in all of the parts I need to work with. When I am done, I delete what...

    Another Masked Edit Question

    I am showing my newbie status here... I have a form with two masked text boxes. One is for a date and one is for a phone number. All works well with the mask. However, I have a need to clear the contents of the text boxes. I can't seem to get this to work. I believe it is because the formats...

    Jet Fuel Bulk Storage

    I was wondering if anyone here has experience with jet fuels and bulk storage of them. I have a engine performance gremlin that I have been trying to track down for some time. One theory has been presented that involves stratification of JET-A in our storage tanks. Some people here have taken...

    Trying To Understand an Error

    An application I am writing has an error I don't quite understand. Perhaps someone can help me. I have a form that has two masked controls (a date and phone number). I put the code in the form load that applies the mask to these controls. On the same form I have an ADO control that links to a...

    Masked Control / DB Connect

    I am having a problem with a mask I want to put on a text control. It is for a telephone number in the standard US format. My masked control is linked to an Access database table. If I do not have any mask specified, I get the resultant record, but not in the format I want. As soon as I apply...

    Custom Cell Format

    Does anyone happen to know the format string that Excel uses to create it's special format for US telephone numbers? The reason I am asking is that I am trying to use the same mask but in a different application and can not get that to work right. I have tried using "("###")"_###"-"#### but...

    Masked Edit Control Question

    I am using a masked edit control on a form for a date input. One thing is a bit annoying with it, perhaps someone can tell me how to fix this. The date format is fine, however, when one tabs to the control to enter the date, a preliminary keystroke is required to invoke the mask. In other...

    VB6 / DB Programming Question

    I am writing a, what was supposed to be, quick and dirty DB interface in VB6 using the ADO. Everything is fine, but I want to add some functionality and I am not quite sure how to do it. I am most likely not seeing the forrest for the trees. I have a form that I have tab control on (with...

    Regulator References?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good reference regarding the various types of pressure regulators? I have collected info over the years, but nothing really substantial like a good reference book. Something that discusses types and various applications would be great. Thanks for the help.

    Gearbox Efficiency

    Has anyone had any experience in testing, under controled conditions, gearboxes for overall efficiency and losses? I'm stepping into this particular testing area (I have been testing for almost 15 years now) for the first time and would like some theory behind the tests (I haven't been able to...

    Data Sources

    I'm new to VB. I'm teaching myself how to program. The question I have revolves around data sources. I have quite a few books I am working from and they all use Access databases for their data sources. I want to make apps. that utilize a lot of tabulated data but I don't own Access. I would like...

    Object Enabler

    I'm running 2002 on Win2000. For some reason, every time I open up a drawing I get consecutive dialaog boxes indicating that AutoCad is attempting to download object enablers from PointA. Can anyone give me a quick primer on what object enablers do? I have never seen this before. Thanks.

    A Basic Compressed Air Problem

    OK, I hope I'm not coming off to brain dead, but this has been a thorn in my side for a bit and I want a liitle backing on this... I have a storage tank that has to be filled to some pressure via a compressor with a known rated SCFM at the inlet and working pressure. Can I simply take the water...
