As I was organizing some of my old code, here's an interesting program I came across that I wrote back in June of 2005 called "Keyword Combiner", which I wrote just one day after completing a similar program, Word Combination Maker. Instead of re-ordering words, this program allows you to add a series of words before and after a given word to make a list of new words. In the zip file below you'll find both the Visual Basic source code and the program itself. Feedback and comments are welcome. If you're looking for a web-based version of this, check out my Adwords Keyword Combiner. Enjoy!

To go along with my VB KeyAscii Chart and VB KeyCode Chart, here's my VB KeyCode Constants Chart. This chart lists all of the Key Code Constant values available in Visual Basic 6. You would use these in place of their numeric equivalents when programming your KeyDown and KeyUp functions. I've also written a seperate program called VB KeyAscii & KeyCode Finder that you can use to find KeyCode Constant values as well.

I was looking on the net recently for a complete list of URL Escape codes. I found a number of websites that had partial lists, but never one that showed a full list that I could save and print out for offline use. Since I couldn't find one online I decided to make my own. This list shows all possible URL Escape Codes with the most commonly used ones at the top. For more information, you can read about URL Encoding on Wikipedia.

Here are two different ways I've come up with for determining if a number is an integer in Visual Basic. The first way, IsInteger, is a function that will return true if you pass it a VB Integer data type. The second way, IsIntegerStr, is a function that will return true if you pass it a VB Integer data type or an integer in string form.
