This could take a while. I'll probably be back with questions.
</div>


<div>
want me to help by creating-formating the new mshflexgrid and uploading ?
</div>


<div>
Sure. All you need to attach is the modified frmReminders.

<div>
i wrote this<br />
FormatDeletedGrid<br />
cmdNewTask.Enabled = False ' don't know about this<br />
end sub<br />
<br />
this would probably be better for grids visible<br />
<br />
Private Sub cmdNewTask_Click()<br />
'probably better<br />
If gridDeleted.Visible Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;gridDeleted.Visible = False<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;gridMaster.Visible = True<br />
End If<br />
have noticed this<br />
when creating a new task if calendar is unloaded without selecting a date<br />
then todays date is entered<br />
sb<br />
msgbox &quot;You must select a date for this reminder&quot;<br />
then show the calendar again<br />
or you know better
</div>


<div>
I know about that bug and I've fixed it. I had a list of bugs that I was working on earlier today and that was one of them.
</div>


<div>
also<br />
if no details are entered for the task it should not continue without <br />
at least a warning like this:<br />
msgbox &quot;you did not enter &nbsp;details for this reminder&quot;<br />
To continue without entering details click OK <br />
gstrTaskText &nbsp;will be used' the text entered into inputbox<br />
case cancel<br />
show the reminder form details again
</div>


<div>
Why does there need to be details? I would think that all you would need sometimes is the reminder's description &quot;Sister's birthday&quot; to know everything you need to know about the reminder.
</div>


<div>
There does not have to be with the message i have entered, but if wanted you could enter <br />
the yr born, place born and even an image if desired
</div>


<div>
have to run an errand be back in about 1-1/2 hrs
</div>


<div>
So is this OK?<br />
<br />
If no details entered in frmTaskDetails and user clicks OK Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; display a message that says &quot;you did not enter details for this reminder. Continue? Press yes to exit or No to try again.&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; If No is clicked then keep form open, otherwise exit the form.
</div>


<div>
i was thinking to sure something is entered<br />
If rtfTask.Text = &quot;&quot;&nbsp;Then<br />
Select Case MsgBox(&quot;You did not enter any details for this Reminder&quot; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;&quot;To continue without entering any details &quot;&nbsp;_<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;&quot;Click OK&quot; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;gstrTaskText &amp;&nbsp;&quot; will be entered&quot; _ 'the text entered into the input box<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;&quot;to Cancel And enter details click cancel&quot; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;&quot;&quot; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&amp; vbCrLf &amp;&nbsp;&quot;&quot; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;, vbOKCancel Or vbQuestion Or vbDefaultButton1, &quot;No Details Entered&quot;)<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Case vbOK<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;rtfTask.Text = gstrTaskText<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Case vbCancel<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cancel = 1<br />
End Select<br />
End If
</div>


<div>
If I read that correctly then the description will never be blank and it seems silly to me when I add a simple reminder called &quot;simple reminder&quot; that it winds up with &quot;simple reminder&quot; not only being the file name, but also the contents of the file. In essence you're forcing something to be placed in the rtf file. You're the boss so if you tell me to do it that way I will, but I don't like it.
</div>


<div>
the entry would have to checked in both<br />
the ok button and the forms X
</div>


<div>
You are thinking wrong the name of the filename<br />
&quot;simple reminder&quot; would never be part of the filename<br />
the filename is created based on the date or time<br />
the date in column 3 is part of the filename<br />
say 11-25-2016 was in column 3 then the filename would be<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB15\Tasks\Personal<wbr />\Tasks\11-<wbr />25-2016.rt<wbr />f<br />
if a time in column 3<br />
9:00 PM<br />
filename would be<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB15\Tasks\Personal<wbr />\Tasks\210<wbr />0.rtf
</div>


<div>
<blockquote>
the entry would have to checked in both<br />

</blockquote>
Sorry but I don't know what that means.<br />
<br />
As for the file name I was thinking about the new plan for the names of deleted files which would be &quot;simple reminder&quot;, but do you still think it's always necessary to have something in the rtf's description?
</div>


<div>
Sorry but I don't know what that means.<br />
The forms unload Button X at the &nbsp;right top corner of the form<br />
re:<br />
but do you still think it's always necessary to have something in the rtf's description?<br />
yes the short description goes into the grid and the details go into the rtf<br />
that way if the rows view is clicked something &nbsp;will show in the rtf<br />
if no entry then the rtf would be blank.<br />
if its easier We could put &quot;No details entered into the rtf&quot; instead of <br />
the input box text
</div>


<div>
we may not be communicating. I believe that the <u>contents</u> of the rtf file <i>can</i> be blank, but you seem to be saying that they can't. I'll do it your way.
</div>


<div>
ideally gstrTaskText the inputbox text if no user input
</div>


<div>
In frmDeletedReminders<br />
<br />
What should the form show? The description?<br />
What do you want to see when click the reminder? The content of the rtf file?
</div>


<div>
In frmDeletedReminders<br />
The filename looks like this:<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB15\Tasks\Personal<wbr />\Deleted Tasks\Doctors appointment.rtf<br />
This rtf file holds the details<br />
&nbsp;i need the Doctors appointment without the .rtf extension &nbsp;part of the file loaded into the mshflexgrid<br />
<br />
What do you want to see when click the reminder? The content of the rtf file? in the view column Yes
</div>


<div>
Whoops there is no view column in that grid clicking the reminder will show the contenfs of the saved rtf file
</div>


<div>
if using another form for deleted reminders then we probably need another richtextbox
</div>


<div>
Shouldn't we be consistent and have a &quot;View&quot; column? <br />
<br />
When the row is clicked or when View is clicked (one or the other) I can show the contents in frmTaskDetails but remove the ability to add or modify the contents, or I can show the contents on frmDeletedReminders in a new rtf control. Your choice. let me know.
</div>


<div>
re: Shouldn't we be consistent and have a &quot;View&quot; column? <br />
yes you are right<br />
i think just adding a new rtf would be best
</div>

re:<br />
Save the file name under it's description rather than it's date,<br />
you are referring to deleted files, right ?not new files<br />
<br />
this may be a bug you are aware of and still plan fixing<br />
new taskes are saved to gGridFolder<br />
but sb saved to gTasksFolder
</div>

That's correct.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>

</blockquote>
No I wasn't aware of that. What I mean is that I knew they were going to gGridFolder, but if you want that changed to gTasks folder I will.
</div>


<div>
yes only the mshflexgrid gets saved to gGridFolder<br />
tasks are saved to gTasksFolder<br />
do you think the grid for deleted files need saving or just created when opened ?
</div>


<div>
No need to save the grid. All that's needed are the deleted files themselves since they now have the description as their name. Did you see the workbook I posted in post ID: 41374324? <br />
<br />
Going off to jury duty selection in a few minutes.
</div>


<div>
not a workbook &nbsp;do mean the zip ?<br />
the last app i got from you was 28900024.zip is that what you mean?
</div>


<div>
thanks, thought this was closed

Deleting reminders regarding Q28896820 vb6

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
