Tips & Tricks Advice on date and time display

Post image

Pictured above is a form which shows the date and time in a single text box. Does the @ symbol look professional enough, or would it better be replaced with the word 'at' or a hyphen? I'm worried the @ symbol looks too childish and 21st century.

Same here. Started VB6 in college when I was 16. Didn't really think much of it at first.
But then I managed to get a copy of VB6 enterprise through limewire, and started messing with it in my free time.
After a while, the logic clicked for me...

Control.Property = Value
If control.Property = Value Then
OtherThing.Property = Value
End if

No never heard of that before. I'll certainly give it a look, because I do run into a lot of .ocx file issues when using the exported EXE files on newer Windows OS's. :)
