Seriously, is it just me?

Alright, for those of you not into computers, you may not get this.

Those that are.. Maybe you've got an answer..

So, friday, I told my boss that this process that we do here at work could be made easier if we put it all into one application. He said it's cool, and he'd like to see something monday. I said ok..

Now, with this process(I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 btw. I know allot of people say it's dead, and I'm JUST NOW starting to believe them) application I'm making. I'm able to:

Run .bat files
Open .exe with cmd buttons
choose and save files with the dialog box(though I need to be able to make it select more than one)
I can choose different drives with the DriveListBox
and look in the folders in the DirListBox..

Now, normally, You also use a FileListBox, like I am, in order to look at the files inside the folder..

Now, the coding to look at the the folders inside the drives is quite simple..

Example:

dirDave1.Path = drvDave1.Drive


Very simple. The folders show up in the correct spot and from the correct drive, no problem-o!

Now, the coding to view files is similar.

Example:

filDave1.Path = dirDave1.Path

Really simple..

but guess what?


IT DON'T FUCKING WORK!!!

I've checked the books, forums, websites, and everything!
They all say the same. It just ain't fucking working..



Is it just me, or does my program want me to look like an ass infront of my boss?

There are no more updates for VB6 because everybody is starting to use VB.Net.

VB6 is almost dead. The only thing keeping it alive is a strong fan base of programmers...


Maybe I should try.. I don't know...

EDIT:
I take that back.. One quick look in google for Visual Basic 6 updates, and I'm getting some.. Hopefuly this will help..
