Do we have any limitation in displaying the no. of records in VB6? Like if the no. of records exceeds the size of long,then will it create problem?

+2  A: 

EDIT: real answer - VB6 is a 32-bit programming system and therefore can store numbers up to 2,147,483,647 when declared as type Long. The "facts" below were obviously ironic. Sheesh, you guys are humorless crabapples :)

VB6 facts:

  • VB6 is only allowed to process 10 records at a time. If any of the data contains "{" or "}" or ";", VB6 will shut down. This is by design, it has to make way for a "real" programming language.

  • VB6 alters your DNA to make your future children bad programmers. It has already traveled into the past to ensure you will be a shitty programmer (that's why you're using it now).

  • Windows has a built-in speed limit on VB6 programs. They are never allowed to be fast enough to solve an actual business problem.

  • 32-bit integers in VB6 are actually 31-bit.

  • VB6 is not just obsolete, it's actually illegal (check with Interpol)

  • If you added up all the keystrokes saved by not typing "Then" in C#, you would have exactly enough to make this post.

I thought it was funny... and I still have to program in VB6 (and for some reason VB.net)... oh C# how I miss thee.

+1. Too bad your VB6 only goes up to 10 records though. Mine goes up to 11 ;)
