Musical theater
By Yellow Bird Productions
Written by Jay'd Hagberg
A Deaf musical, examining the gap between hearing and Deaf cultures and how shared interest, romance, and tragedy bridge that gap. All performances are signing-accessible - this is for Deaf and hearing alike!
Musical theater
Opera/New Music Modern Dance Physical theater/Clowning World premiere
Multimedia First-time Minnesota Fringe Festival producer Includes artists with disabilities
The creators say this show is appropriate for ages 16 and up
Silence examines the gap between hearing and Deaf cultures, and what happens when things like shared interest, romance, and tragedy bridge that gap. The story follows Abby (Canae Weiss, local Deaf dancer and actress) in her struggles as a Deaf pre-professional dancer. When she meets the hearing musician Mark, (Robert Korsmo, local actor/singer with Stone Arch Armada) perceptions of the gap between the hearing and the Deaf cultures shift, and a romance ensues. Through a smorgasbord of song, dance, and American Sign Language, the story unfolds and lives are changed.
This show revolutionizes the way ASL (American Sign Language) and ASL interpreting is utilized in a theater setting by incorporating the interpreters as scripted characters on stage, rather than the customary front-of-stage position. Cast includes many hearing and Deaf actors from around the Twin Cities area, including many local ASL interpreters. The production has been shown a great deal of support from the University of Minnesota and other organizations around the metro.

We went to see a production of "Silence" and found it entertaining, unique and wonderful!
(Completely unprejudiced point of view.)
Grandma and Grandpa Hagberg
by Amanda Lee Genaro
Rating 4 stars
Love having an ASL show with tons of elements we don't typically see in them (ie awesome music).
I wanted more. I was expecting more about the difficulties of a communication with a signer and a non-signer... but great story. Just wanted more development of their stories, but I know the time constraint. Felt super short because I wanted more and was super engaged. Sad. Funny. Cute. Moving. Stories powerful.
Some parts not together, but I know a lot of work went into this show. Difficult span of going from far stage left to far stage right during dialogue parts... missed the beginning of each person's line because needing to use ASL. Maybe my seat? Maybe move closer.
Y'all were amazing though! Thanks so much! Hope to see y'all do more!!!
ASL doesn't excuse horrendous writing.
by Abbie Lawrence
Rating 1 star
I'm so sorry. Despite really excellent intentions and an admirable, worthy goal, "Silence" needs a complete overhaul. The almost nonexistent script and songs both feel like they're Mad Libbed together from the best-known lines of existing musicals (mostly "Rent" - like, VERBATIM plagiarism). There is no character development; the entire show exists to tell us how AMAAAAZING Abbie is, but we don't ever see her being amazing. We're told she's an OMG AWESOME dancer...but we see her performing what looks like a parody of modern dance. We're told Mark is an OMG AWESOME writer/musician, but we see him, well, plagiarize "Rent". Also, no one can sing. Also, there is no forward-moving plot, and all action is talked ABOUT, not shown. Also...no.
Wanted More

Rating 4 stars
Having had a mother that was deaf, I was very interested in seeing this show. Love the concept, but I think the directing could have been better. I would have loved to see the relationships developed more. The show was only 40 minutes so there was plenty of time to spare. Impressive acting, dancing and singing. Looking forward to more shows like this.
Moving Performance

I found myself moved by the experience and brought to tears. Doing a musical for multiple audiences is challenging and I thought "Silence" did a wonderful job. The musicians were fantastic.
More than meets the eye and ears
by Troy Osswald
Rating 5 stars
As a theatre practitioner, I was very emotionally moved by the complexity of identities presented onstage. There are a myriad of interesting challenges brought to a performance space in which one wishes to bridge gaps in understanding, and this was completely new to me as a way to tell a story that lives between both the worlds of the hearing and deaf communities. As someone who has very little experience with the deaf community, I was captured by the visual drama of blending voice and American Sign Language, dance and bold singing which came together to make 'Silence.' As always with Fringe, more time could tighten this show technically- but it is already mesmerizing and will make you wish you you could see it again to catch all you missed
A refreshing delight
by Jacob Edholm
Rating 4 stars
This was a very well done musical that successfully conveyed a meaningful message about the deaf community. A show for the hearing and the deaf!
While the show had a serious message, it also had plenty of hilarious moments. Good job to the cast, especially by Canae Weiss who played Abby.

Rating 5 stars
I was at the opening night of this show. I was so impressed by the subject matter, the amazing music, and the talent that went into this show. But I hesitated to write a review. I wanted to see uf this was all or if the show was going to be refined. I came back and what I witnessed was nothing short of perfection. With the limited resources the director and cadet were given, they turned a great show with possibility into a breathtaking show that continuously tugged at your heartstrings. It was done with such genuine feeling that you couldn't help but relate to the characters. I myself don't know any ASL. I wouldn't know where to begin. But you don't need to. This show is for EVERYONE, not just those who can sign. Jay'd Hagberg is going to do amazing things in this world. And personally, I can't wait to be able to say "I saw him when.....". I would LOVE to see each member of the cast take this show as far as it can go. They are all so amazingly talented. Canae is a force to be reckoned with. It wasn't until after the show I found out she is actually deaf. To not be able to hear anything and still be able to follow music and dance with such grace is nothing short of amazing. I genuinely hope this show is able to perform on Sunday so I can have the privilege of coming back. I can't say enough about it. Truly breathtaking......

As a member of D/HH community, I enjoyed this show so much that I am left with wanting for more! :) I love how the funny twists were incorprated in this show. Made me appreciate different perspectives the show has all in one. :) My only disappointment - it was too damn short for my liking! :) Jay'D - I want more!
ASL Musical? Pah! **Hands Waving**
by Cheryl Fielitz
Rating 4 stars
As a member of the signing community (I am an interpreter), I loved the fact that this was truly a show for Deaf and hearing audiences alike. I loved that the interpreters were incorporated in the action and the story, not stuck on one side so one has to choose what to look at. I loved that ASL and Deaf Culture was treated as simply something different, and it was the hearing character that seemed to be a bit at a disadvantage because he didn't sign. The signing and dancing were beautiful. I am echoing other reviewers when I say that I would have liked to see more...more dancing, more signing, more meat in the story. Hopefully I will get to someday! Thanks to all involved...let's do it again SOON, shall we?
From a Deaf perspective
by Eric Nooker
Rating 5 stars
I really enjoyed this play! It engaged both the hearing and deaf audience with excellent integration of spoken and visual communication. Using sign language interpreters as characters was a unique angle that was a pleasant surprise. I did wish I could have seen more of the developing relationship, but overall it was a great play for such a short time frame. Kudos to the people who were involved with making this play a reality!
An earnest effort
by Andrew Troth
Rating 3 stars
I applaud the idea behind this show, and there are parts of it that work really well. The music is pretty good overall; the multiple methods of interpretation are enriching rather than distracting; I like the extrapolation of the inherent beauty of ASL performance in some of the dance work; and Canae Weiss's dancing is lovely. The small amount of time that the two main characters spend together is well-acted and charming.
But... some of the supporting performances are uneven, some musical numbers come across as inadequately rehearsed, and the story needs more development, as other reviewers have noted. I hope the author will continue to work on the show; it could grow into something really wonderful.
Great concept with good execution, but
by Joshua Humphrey
Rating 3 stars
...there's a hole in this play that needs to be filled. After Abby and Mark (our deaf heroine and musician hero) hook up, we skip ahead a year in time. I wanted to see the what happened in the interval, the growing pains of their relationship--i.e., more communication issues, meeting the 'rents and friends, ect. More conflict would make this more engaging, and give the final act more impact. There's room for it too--Silence clocks in at 35 minutes, so there's at least 15 minutes that could be used to flesh out the script. I do think the concept is fantastic and it works well, but I wanted to see a longer production that plays on the complexities of hearing/not hearing relationships.
Deaf Kids Get to be Hackneyed Too
by Paula Nancarrow
Rating 5 stars
I loved this show, and was surprised when some of the other reviews marked it down for a hackneyed plot. Because I thought that was part of the point. It was Grease Meets Teen Angel. The idea of a Hearing Musician having a Deaf Dancer for his muse is a wonderful trope for bringing together both cultures; so often we have ASL interpretation for shows that is tacked on, and this was all integral. They were talented, fresh, energetic, and the leading roles were played extremely well. I found myself wondering what the experience would be like if I were Deaf, and I sure hope there will be Deaf reviewers of the show, because that's as close as I'm going to get to knowing.
Simple Story, beautifully told
by Vicki Joan Keck
Rating 4 stars
I have always been fascinated with Deaf culture and sign language, so when I read about this it went to my MUST SEE list. I loved the mix of ASL and voice, and the two leads were exquisite. The story is very basic, boy meets girl, loves, then loses girl. The beauty is in the music, dancing and the way it's told. Nice job!
A place to start
by David Trudeau
Rating 3 stars
The idea of a non-hearng/hearing musical is novel and this play shows it is feasible. I hope it is a launching pad for more serious work. A very simple plot and only a few good numbers leave it theatrically wanting. I do not speak ASL but my eye is always drawn to the signers at plays and every once in a while I see a gesture that gives a new depth to concepts expressed by spoken language. Signing is a graceful and expressive language that has its own movement art potential. I would love to see an ensemble dancing and signing. I also think of mime heavy theater pieces like "Ashland" that can incorporate hearing and non-hearing actors. Lots of interesting potential here. Thanks for breaking the ice.

About Time and Not Enough Time
by Minrod Mier
Rating 3 stars
I thought the concept and execution of this show was terrific, but - clocking in at 35 minutes - I felt a bit cheated. The story had only just begun and I wish I could have seen so much more about the relationship. The characters were strong and the relationships that developed not only between them but all their interpreters was poignant and amusing and had me reeled in. But please - show me MORE! But - you all - go and see and hear this totally accessible show!
Refreshing new concepts at Fringe!
by Claire Alexander
Rating 5 stars
I loved the blended-style staging of this show. As a bilingual person, I can say that the language was nicely paired and equally sincerely delivered in both ASL and English. Canae's dancing was breathtaking (as always). Congrats and good luck with the rest of the run. FRINGERS: Consider seeing this show if you want to see something you've never seen before! :D
A strong start, but unfinished.
by Eric Salo
Rating 3 stars
This show was an epiphany for me: So obvious in retrospect that OF COURSE the ASL would be choreographed just like any other kind of movement on-stage. That part was beautifully done.
But the ending of the story was beyond horrible and a total cop-out. Also, our show started at 4:00 and was over by 4:37. That's 13 minutes which could have been used to tell more of the story...and I wanted those 13 minutes.
Also, I wanted to see more of Canae Weiss dancing. Whether that makes dramatic sense is irrelevant.
So, an excellent start. But seriously guys, rip out that lame ending and give us more of the good stuff.
Excellent Way to Bridge the Gap
by Stephanie Miller
Rating 4 stars
Having studied ASL I've seen a number of ASL performances and like to go to ASL interpreted performances. Both of these lack something as a full performance type and this show broke that problem wide open.
Both deaf and hearing characters have interpreters for the audience (some of them speak and some of them sign). These interpreters and with them physically throughout the scenes and even played a bit with the roles that the interpreters played.
I loved that the interpretation was two-sided and built in, instead of being layered on top of a finished product and I hope to see more of this type of work.
As for the plot, it was a little short and could have used a little more body in the middle to get the audience more invested.

Take your time
by Jess Lindgren
Rating 4 stars
I enjoyed this show, though it could definitely use a longer run time for story/character development. This would also be fun on a thrust as opposed to a proscenium space.
Concept was innovative, but could use a bit of polishing - had a hard time keeping track of characters/interpreters at times. Show ended 20 minutes early - could have used that time to your advantage!
One star for concept/passionate actors/Canae's dancing. I am at a 3.5 rating overall, but will round up for the hard work put into creating an original work Thanks, and hope to see something like this next year!
Unexpectantly moving
by Brenda White
Rating 4 stars
When I heard the the concept of this show - a deaf musical - I was intrigued. What I didn't expect was to be moved by this show.
I'm sure with additional performances, it will become more polished (we saw it on its opening night). I understand there was little time for a sound check and that was apparent by some of the imbalance in the music and singing.
Unfortunately since I'm just in town for a long weekend, I won't have an opportunity to see another show. I wish I could...

Great concept, weak show
by Diane Carter
Rating 2 stars
I'll give it one star for the concept of integrating signing and hearing characters and interpreters in a way I'd never seen before, and one star for Canae Weiss' dancing. Unfortunately, it comes with a hackneyed, melodramatic plot (how can you believe in a "special love" when the characters only have one scene together?), instantly forgettable music, and weak singing. I'd love to see the creators redo this show after some constructive criticism and coaching.
Hearing and feeling the music
by Jon Skaalen
Rating 4 stars
This musical by people who hear and who don't hear stretches its reach into a realm that connects both worlds. A hearing person meets and is impressed by a Deaf person. We see what happens when they try to communicate – they adapt. A relatively simple love story is enhanced by lively if imperfect staging, incorporating interpreters, speakers, singers and movers in many creative, illuminating ways, sparked especially by the lyrically graceful movement of the dancer (Canae Weiss), who captures the hearts of more than just the singer. "Silence" challenges us in many ways, and deserves attention. Thank you!
Needs more time
by Grace Christenson
Rating 4 stars
Silence has a great concept and a lot to say, but sadly only has the fringe time slot to say it. I would love to see this show again in a year with its own venue and a 2 hour run time so that there could be more character and plot development. For now there was a lot going on for 55 mintues. However the dancing of the lead actress was beautiful and I found myself laughing and wanting to brush up on my ASL when the show was done.
Thoroughly Entertaining
by Maria Holloway
Rating 5 stars
If you go to see one show during the Fringe Festival, it should be THIS one - Silence. It was fantastic on opening night...I can only imagine what it will be like on the 5th night.
The music was beautiful and the ASL was mesmerizing. I applaud the actors, hearing and Deaf alike, and thoroughly enjoyed the combination of hearing and Deaf actors performing together.
Canae Weiss is such a talented dancer and an absolute joy to watch on stage.
Jay'd Roman Thomas Hagberg should most definitely be applauded for writing and directing such an entertaining musical!!!

This show has a great, original concept - bringing ASL to the front and center of the production. In that, I applaud the effort. However, the songs were weak in content and execution, and the plot was as cookie cutter as they come.
Heartfelt Story
by Mary Lundberg-Johnson
Rating 4 stars
I was drawn to this show with its theme of deafness after spending time with my mom as her hearing loss progressed. I learned then that deafness is the most isolating of disabilities. This play shows a beautiful uniting of both worlds in an emotional telling of a tale both sad and joyful. The dancing was beautiful, and the music was wonderful. I wondered if the story was based on a true happening. With a bit more polishing, this will definitely be a 5 Star Fringe Festival attraction.
I didn't applaud enough!

Dance, live music (soundtrack and songs!), comedy, chorus. There's a lot to love here! It's what Fringe is all about - an unpolished gem.
Genius Concept
by Zander Myers
Rating 4 stars
The concept of this play is a beautiful joining of two different worlds, and how they interact. This in itself earns its stars. If the musical had been a little more well executed it would of made the experience even more enjoyable. To make the play exceptional, it would of been mesmerizing if, when the full cast was out, all the ASL being shown was timed together. Along with that, on the actual music, the piano seemed a little overpowered which made it hard to hear the rest of the instruments. Otherwise, this musical was a well done entertainment that sure is to improve show to show. May come to watch the final night to see if its improved.

A beautiful idea but it needs a bit of work. The flow and mechanics aren't there yet. A bit weak in the directing but the idea is good and the show was enjoyable although I think i'd could be outstanding.
Intriguing Concept Needs Cast to Sell It
by Michael Venske
Rating 2 stars
It was opening night and from my seat the nerves of the cast were palpable. Totally expected, however, instead of excitement in the air it felt like the cast was fearful to attack each piece with the emotional intensity necessary to sell the songs and scenes. There were many moments rich with potential, but the cast as a whole failed to own them and make the story theirs.
The concept is intriguing, but feels as though it's still in development as the execution was clunky and lacking clear direction. The message of the closing song was poignant and the live band made for an enjoyable evening of original music. As the run of "Silence" progresses, I'm curious to see how the cast and show continues to grow.
by Timothy Osburn
Rating 5 stars
I have seen many fringe shows in my time. Several of which were great and wonderful to see. But this is the first show that simply took my breath away. The story was heartwarming and incredibly original. The music was brilliant. The dance was awe-inspiring. I never expected to see a show of such brilliant quality. The cast is wonderful and the writer/director (Jay'd Hagberg) will have his name in lights on Broadway. If you see nothing else during fringe, SEE THIS SHOW!!!! I'M STILL AWE-STRUCK!!!!!!

Putting the D into Dynamite!
by Tristine Miller
Rating 4 stars
I foresee this show getting more and more polished as Fringe continues. It's creativity incorporates hearing and Deaf culture into a thoughtful story about ability, not disability. The combination of signing, dance, music and dialog tugged on my heart far greater than I had envisioned when I first learned about this performance. I'll be recommending this to everyone I see!
by Lesli Randall
Rating 3 stars
There's a lot going on in this production which made it a bit overwhelming--modern dance segments, earnest solo ballads, harmonic ensemble pieces, electronic and acoustic music, and the constant flow of movement which is American Sign Language. It's obvious Mr. Hagberg has a lot to say, and a shame he had so little time to say it.
The performers wove together a timeless tale of two worlds coming together in friendship and love. Dancer Canae Weiss was a joy to watch, but my favorite thing about the show was the pairing of performers with interpreters on stage--a seamless, symbiotic relationship that touched me deeply.
Brilliant! Artistic breakthrough, a must
by Marcia Avner
Rating 5 stars
Jay'd Hagberg's "deaf musical" had us saying it may be the best Fringe show we have ever seen, and we have seem many! BRAVO!! Building this performance with a combination of deaf and hearing performers is a significant artistic accomplishment. The writing (a touching story), the direction (timing and choreography: near perfect), the music, and acting are top notch. Deaf dancer Canae Weiss gives an exquisite performance and is a star to watch. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW. This is why I love Fringe...sometimes the magic happens and it is stunning in this instance. Thank you to all of you talented and disciplined writer, director, cast, crew.
"Silence" is a gift that will stay with those who see it.

Absurd Cicada spotted in Mudd. Maybe I should do a cicada stop motion… O___O
We think you should. As it creeps through the books in the library.
step 1: save image. step 2: print. step 3: draw a comic. step 4: submit it to Oberlin Comics Collective's spring publication by April 15: firstname.lastname@example.com
Step 5: be awesome. Step 6: Tumbl your comic and tag with #oberlin so we can see it too.
Haunted house, c. 2003. The house part was drawn from the back porch of the Oberlin Inn, I think.


text: Out here in the far reaches of Sapulpa (on the back road to Kellyville) we are still pretty well snowed in. The local farmers came by Tue afternoon with their tractors and moved some snow around, making it a passable ice road for brave 4WD souls. I measured 17" of snow in my front yard, with 3' drifts in the back yard. We did get the Jeep out and crunched down the snow on the driveway to get out if needed, which we haven't done yet, as there is a treacherous hill between us and WalMart. Meanwhile, I'm catching up on grading, reading, and writing my novel. We're well stocked here so I've been exercising my culinary skills to the great pleasure of my husband. However, I'm afraid to get on the scale and see how much damage all this has done to my meager attempt at loosing weight. (Don't things like this always happen when you make New Year's resolutions?) Regardless, we're enjoying the rest, relaxation, fine food, birdwatching, and good company of each other. With the weather predictions as grim as they are, I'd not be surprised if school remains closed all next week, too.

Isdestinationreachable Returning False Positives...
OK I'm at a loss here, I'm trying to simply determine if a computer is on the LAN with the following code:
Private Declare Function IsDestinationReachable Lib "SENSAPI.DLL" Alias "IsDestinationReachableA" (ByVal lpszDestination As String, ByRef lpQOCInfo As QOCINFO) As Long
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL = &H4
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN = &H1
Const NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN = &H2
Private Type QOCINFO
dwSize As Long
dwFlags As Long
dwInSpeed As Long 'in bytes/second
dwOutSpeed As Long 'in bytes/second
End Type
Private Sub cmdcheckip_Click()
Dim Ret As QOCINFO
Ret.dwSize = Len(Ret)
If IsDestinationReachable(txtcompname.Text, Ret) = 0 Then
MsgBox "The destination cannot be reached."
MsgBox "Machine " & txtcompname.Text & " was reached."
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdexit_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Trouble is, with a lot of valid computer names it is still responding! If I put in some arbitrary name it returns false, so it seems like it is kind of working, but for a number of machines I have tested it on it will return true even if they are off! Anybody have any ideas?

open the DB click on best match query, and just hit OK wihtout specifying a product.
the reactive sites and reactivity should match up... which they do, and the prod PH should match the dye PH within +/-1 ... if you look it works for everything but robamine and calcium
Any ideas..? Why does the query return mostly the right values, and some blatently wrong values.. either it should work all the time or not work all the time. Any help would be much appreciated.

VB6 - DLL Returning Boolean True False
I have a vb6 dll that returns a boolean value when I call "EvaluateFile".
I am trying to test the return value inside a script.
I am not sure but I always get back a value of false.
I have tested the dll inside a vb6 program and it returns true/false correctly.
Only inside a script does it always return false.
This is my first time writing dll's or using scripting.
Here is the script that calls the dll
option explicit
dim objImport
dim bImport
Set objImport = WScript.CreateObject("banImp.Importer")
If objImport.EvaluateFile Then
WScript.Echo "Uploading file "
WScript.Echo "Upload complete."
WScript.Echo "There was no data to import."
End If
WScript.DisconnectObject objImport
Set objImport = Nothing
I always end up inside the Else
Any suggestions
Data.GetFormat(1) - Txt File Returning False?

It is a text file!???
I'm having a Problem with the API "IsDestinationReachable". I'm using the following code to determin if a computer is online or not:
Private Declare Function IsDestinationReachable Lib _
"Sensapi.dll" Alias "IsDestinationReachableA" _
(ByVal lpszDestination As String, _
lpQOCInfo As QOCINFO) As Long
Private Type QOCINFO
dwSize As Long
dwFlags As Long
dwInSpeed As Long
dwOutSpeed As Long
End Type
Public Function Ping(ByVal IP As String) As Boolean
Dim QuestStruct As QOCINFO
Dim lReturn As Long
QuestStruct.dwSize = Len(QuestStruct)
lReturn = IsDestinationReachable(IP, QuestStruct)
If lReturn = 1 Then
Ping = True
Ping = False
End If
End Function
As long as I "ping" with an UNC name everything works fine, I get True when the computer is online, False when it is offline.
But when I "ping" with an IP address I allways get back True. The only way I get back False is to unplug the network cable.
Now the problem is, I have to ping with the IP address.
Is this kind ov behavior normal? Can anybody help?
Does 'IsDestinationReachable' API Call Support Network Address Translation
Could anybody please tell me if they know if 'IsDestinationReachable' API call support Network Address Translation ?
I have written a program in VB6 that needs to PING numerous PC's prior to mapping.
I am passing the IP address and QOCINFO as parameters for 'IsDestinationReachable', which works fine for the PC's not on the NAT'd network.
However the PING fails if the PC is using Network Address Translation.
I can ping the NAT'd IP address using the PING command, from the cmd prompt on my PC, so I know that the destination is reachable.
Any help would be very much appreciated on resolving this matter.
The code needs to be written in VB6.
Thanks in advance.
Your Opinion Please .Enabled = False VS .Visible = False ? What Is Better?

Recordset Only Returning Five Records When It Should Be Returning 466
Doing this in excel with VBA. Haven't working in VBA for a very long time but can't see why I'm getting these results.
I run this sql in query analizer and I get 466 records back but when the same sql runs in vba I only get five records back. I checked the conn string to make sure I was running against the correct db. Is it that I'm not setting up my recordset object correctly?
Set conSql = New ADODB.Connection
conSql.Provider = "SQLOLEDB"
conSql.ConnectionString = "Data Source = Test1;" & "User ID=sa;Password=test; Initial Catalog = test;"
'conSql.ConnectionTimeout = 120

Dim fldField As ADODB.Field
Dim docXML As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
Set rstData = New ADODB.Recordset
strSql = "SELECT CedingCoID, effectivedate, XMLString " & _
"FROM CAPSProgram " & _
"Where ID > 1 and CedingCoID > 1" _
' "WHERE (CedingCoID = '" & intCedingCoID & "' AND EffectiveDate = '" & CDate(datEffectiveDate) & "' AND Description " & IIf(strDescription = vbNullString, "IS NULL)", " = '" & strDescription & "')")

I am so confused!
Please explain why the following if statement is FALSE?
If (3 And 4) Then
msgbox ("True") 'will not come here and why?
msgbox ("False") 'Will come here always
end if
Why Is This False?
If I use this code it comes out false. Why?
(0.0087 * 100) = 0.87
If I encapsulate each side of the equation with Val() it comes out true.
Is it something to do with a floating decimal point?
EOF Always False
I am using ADO to access a Microsoft Access 2000 database. I can traverse the entire recordset, but eof is never set to true. Someone posted a similar problem with ADO.NET.
Any suggestions?
Moving A From = False
ow can i limit the user from draging a form....i have a midiform and i have a toolbar on the left...how can i have it locked from being moved?
True And False: Are They Mad??
suppose to write this very simple application:
MsgBox False
MsgBox True
Now I run it into my VB6 I see first a dialog box which displays "True" followed by "False".
Now I compile it and run the .exe. I see first a dialog box which displays "Vero" followed by "Falso". "Vero" and "Falso" are the italian equivalent of True and False.
Since I use to populate the results of boolean ( ) functions directly into some sql string, this sql results to be incorrect because the sql engine doesn't recognize the string "Vero" or "Falso" where was expecting a real boolean value.
Any one has as clue for this strange behavior? On my same pc, a about two weeks ago and since two years I never got this problem and now!!!
My os is W2K in EN but Internation settings are for Italy like last 4 years!
Please...i'm getting crazy

True Or False
vb Code:
Dim ret As Boolean' some other coderet = FtpPutFile(server, fname, fname, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY, 0)If Not ret Then myip = ""' more code
when i declare ret like this the myip = "" runs everytime regardless of whether ret is true or false
if i don't declare ret and leave it to vb to cast it as a variant then ret will still return true or false and the if statement runs correctly
what logic am i missing about declaring ret?
what's wrong with the code below?
VB Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()Label1.Left = Label1.Left + 100If Label1.Left = 300 ThenIf Label1.Left >= Text1.Left Then Text1.Visible = FalseIf Label1.Left >= Text2.Left Then Text2.Visible = FalseIf Label1.Left >= Text3.Left Then Text3.Visible = False Label1.Left = 10Label1.Top = Label1.Top + 50End IfIf Label1.Top = 200 Then Timer1.Enabled = FalseEnd Sub
Not True Or False, But Nothing
When VB first starts all boolean variables are nothing (ie not True and not False)
how do i set a boolean variable to nothing
False E-Mail

Locked = False
I have a program that has 200 items on the form, they being textboxes. cboboxes etc.. I have set all them as locked = false, as I don't want anyone to change the values in the boxes until an add button, or edit button is pressed.
In my cmdAdd procedure I have the following code:
txtOne.Locked = False
txtTwo.Locked = False
txtThree.Locked = False etc...
Is there a one line of code I can use , instead of writing all this code in. I know I can copy and paste.
I have seen Set_All_Locks somewhere, I don't know if is VB code proper or someone's own.

I have a little program that is to send emails with attachment to an email address. The MAPIMessage and MAPISession code work great and will send out emails to the identified addresses. M issue is when I use the program with "send false" I expect tha Outlook Express will send without using the interface. This i great but before it sends the email, OE produces a pop-up bo alerting me that a program is attempting to send the followin email message on my behalf, prompting "Would you like to sen the message? Send or not.. this is on a box running Windows X and defeats the whole purpose of being able to send without th user interface. Have I missed some value in my code to avoi this troublesome pop-up?
Help is appreciated.

Using True Or False
I am sorry that this is long but i need your help!!
Ok, I have no clue what i am doing wrong. My first form works but my second one doesnt. See, i am programming a multiple choice quiz. I am using option buttons for the choices. When you select the answer you want it will tel you if you are correct or wrong. Then after 3 seconds it will go to the next question with is on the second form. Once you click on the command button that is named EnterAnswer it will bring you to the next question/form. I can get to the second question but on the second question, it wont even tell me if i am right or wrong. Here is the code for the command button that will bring you to the second question:
Private Sub Cammand1_Click()
Select Case True
Case Option1.Value = True
Label2 = "Correct!"
Timer1.Enabled = True
EnterAnswer.Enabled = False
Case Option2.Value = False
Label2 = "Sorry Wrong Answer!"
Timer1.Enabled = True
EnterAnswer.Enabled = False
Case Option3.Value = False
Label2 = "Sorry Wrong Answer!"
Timer1.Enabled = True
EnterAnswer.Enabled = False
End Select
End Sub
And it works... it goes to question2. The code for the command button that leads you to question 3 is:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Select Case True
Case Option1.Value = False
Label4 = "Sorry Wrong Answer!"
EnterAnswer2.Enabled = False
Case Option2.Value = True
Label4 = "Correct!"
Timer2.Enabled = True
Case Option3.Value = False
Label4 = "Sorry Wrong Answer!"
Timer2.Enabled = True
EnterAnswer2.Enabled = False
End Select
End Sub
EnterAnswer2 = False
AND IT DOESN'T WORK!!! I dont know why! They Are both exactly the same and i cant find a single problem!! When i click on the command it doesn't even do ANYTHING!!!!! Any ways, i am sorry that this was long but i despretally need help!!!

If B4 is more than 999 and less than 5000 it will calculate. If B4 is not in the 999 - 5,000 range it returns 0 (zero); with =IF(B4>999;B4<5000) it returns false.
How do I adjust it so a false prints "--"?
Application.EnableEvents = False
Hi everyone!
A recurring problem I am running into is userforms with a bunch of controls, each of them having a "change" event, and each of them interacting with each other.
I thought the Application.EnableEvents property would help me, but I can't get it to do what I thought it should be doing. Let's illustrate with a form that contains a textbox "TextBox1", and the following code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
TextBox1.Text = "This has been changed"
End Sub
Private Sub userform_Activate()
Application.EnableEvents = False
TextBox1.Text = "Initial Text"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
What I thought this would do: when you .show the form, it starts with the "initialize" event which disables events, and so I expected the textbox to contain "Initial Text". Instead of that, the event TextBox1_change is called, in spite of the enableevents=false, and the textbox contains "This has been changed".
What am I not understanding, and/or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Code Gets Executed Even If The Value Is False ??
Here is a sample of my code...
Dim IP(0 To 1000) As String
For Y = 0 to wskServer.Ubound
If wskServer(Y).State = 8
Unload wskServer(Y)
End If
For I = 1 to wskServer.Ubound
If IP(I) <> "" Then
End If
Now the problem is that the IP(I) = "" BUT the code gets executed anyway...
Anyway to solve this ?
IF + 2 Conditions + AND + Exit If First Is False
sorry for that subject - The actual question is a lot easier than to describe it in one line.
The question results from a nice feature I learned programming JAVA:
If you have an if-clause with two AND-conditions (e.g. if ((a == b) && (a != 1)) ) then JAVA will stop evaluating the conditions as soon as it notices that "a" does not equal "b".
The same works for OR-conditions when JAVA finds the first comparison to return true.
What would I need this for?
Well, when I work with databases e.g. I have to make a difference between NULL and "", because NULL can not be converted to any data-type.
Let's say I would like to compare a database text-field containing a date (I know, misconception, it's just an example) with 2003/01/27. First I need to check if the database actually contains a value, then convert it to date and compare:
if ((Not IsNull(rsData.fields("datefield"))) And (CDate(rsData.fields("datefield") = date_2003_01_27)) then ...
In the past I had to accept, that this statement throws an exception if datefield contains NULL, because VB does not exit the IF although the first part is allready false - Then, of course, CDate tries to convert a NULL-value which it can't.
Is there any tweak I can use as a work-around except reading the database-fields with default-values?
Thanx !
FlexGrid1.Enabled = False

Visible=false Not Working
I'm using the following code to pause processing for 15 seconds and to display a message and a count on my form to tell the user what's going on and how long of a wait is left:
Label4.Visible = True ' show label on form
interval = 15 ' set time to wait
Text3 = interval ' write time left to form
Text3.Visible = True
sinTime = Timer ' initialize (seconds since midnight)
For i = 1 To interval
Do Until Timer - 1 > sinTime ' allow ~ 1 sec to pass
sinTime = sinTime + 1 ' set for next pass
Text3 = Text3 - 1 ' adjust time left
Text3.Refresh ' insure it shows on form
Next i
' done pausing - clean up and continue processing
Label4.Visible = False ' take label off form
Text3.Visible = False ' take time left off form
It works OK, except the message and count doesn't disappear from my form when the .visible=false and .refresh are executed at the end.
Any ideas why not?
True / False Values

Set Field Values To False
How do I set the field values to False using Alter Table? I am using VB6 with MS Access DB.

But when the form in question is a SUBFORM....no matter what I do, when there is a key violation, the standard Access message comes on, so it appears that the docmd.setwarnings False line does not work. Please help.
YES/NO Display As True/false
In use Access 2000, ADO 2.7, VB6; I have the following scenario: I have a field defined as yes/no, I create a recordset and display it using MSFlexgrid.
The fields display as true, false depending on their content. What I would like to happen is that they display as YES or NO. I don't want to update the datebase, just display yes or no.
What I tried to do is before passing the record set to the grid, was to loop thru the recordset, testing for true/false and depending on the content move "YES" to the field if true else "NO" if false.
That obviously did not work: I get an error message:
-2147217887; Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine;
Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Can someone shed some light on how I would go about achieving my goal of "YES" or "NO" displayed in the grid?
I thank you guys in advance for your help

However I want it to only play when "Form2.Visible = True" and "Form2.Enabled = True".

Private Declare Function ZwUnmapViewOfSection Lib "ntdll.dll" (ByVal hProcess As Long, ByVal BaseAddress As Long) As Long
But, if I put the declaration in my code, my antivirus software keeps calling it a "HEUR/Malware", even if I don't call it. I was planning on comercially releasing the software, but I don't want it to be detected. Is there any other way then using a software protector such as "software passport armadillo".
I have a timer and when it is counting i want a button to be disabled but when the timer stops i want the buttons to be enabled i was using the following code which disabled the button but then doesnt enable it once the timer stops. The code is
vb Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()If Timer5.Enabled = True ThenCommand1.Enabled = FalseElseCommand1.Enabled = TrueDim i As Long For i = 0 To 5 If Picture1(i).Visible And Picture2(i).Visible Then Label3.Caption = Val(Label3.Caption) + 1 Exit For End If Next i End IfEnd Sub Private Sub Timer5_Timer()Picture3.Visible = FalsePicture4.Visible = FalseTimer5.Enabled = FalseEnd Sub
What is wrong with this code. Also can soemone tell me the code for when the button is clicked it cant be clicked again. Until something happens.
PortOpen = False On EXIT ?
My program is running well , bet when I exit my program and go to a other program that need the comport I have just used , the other program tell me "Port in use"
I add a button .PortOpen = False , now it work , but I would like that this happens when I press the CLOSE or EXIT button from my form.
Any "On_Exit" or "On_Close" Command ?
Best Regards,
VB Code:
ublic Function CommSelect(x As Integer) As StringWith ctlMSComm 'configuration du portIf .PortOpen = True Then .PortOpen = False.CommPort = x 'On utilise le port COM1:.Handshaking = 0.RTSEnable = 0.Settings = "9600,n,8,1".SThreshold = 0.InBufferCount = 0.InBufferSize = 1.OutBufferSize = 1.InputMode = 0.InputLen = 1.RThreshold = 1.SThreshold = 1On Error GoTo Comms_Error.PortOpen = TrueExit FunctionComms_Error: If Err = 8002 Then ' Port already open MsgBox "Sorry, No Com" & x End If Resume NextEnd WithEnd Function

With the 187th pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, the Carolina Hurricanes selected Kyle Jenkins, a defenseman out of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the Ontario Hockey League.
The Carolina Hurricanes finished out the 2014 NHL Draft with the pick of solid, two-way defenseman Kyle Jenkins out of Sault Ste. Maire in the OHL.
Kyle Jenkins is a smooth skating, two-way defenseman with very good puck moving abilities. Scouts say he still seems a bit lazy and not thorough with the puck at times, but that is something that can be ironed out in the coming years.
In his first full season in the OHL in 2013-2014, Kyle Jenkins tallied 25 points in 63 regular season games played with the Greyhounds. He was paired with Tyler Ganly, Carolina Hurricanes 6th round pick in 2013, for much of the season.
Kyle Jenkins is very dangerous on the power play, and with his superb ability to dish out the puck and make good breakout passes, he can be very good at even strength too.
At 6'1″, 175 lbs, Kyle Jenkins still has a lot of work to do in order to get stronger, but if he can do that, he can turn into a very nice prospect, especially for a seventh round selection.
This seems to be a very nice pick for the Carolina Hurricanes with their last pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Frequenting online dating sites is a great way to meet new people, but you always have to be aware that the guys and girls you encounter may not always be truthful with you. Dave is one such guy and he uses his lies to score with hot chicks on a website called Date Site Liars. When you're duped it sucks, but when you see other people fooled, somehow it's so much more appealing.
Some people on dating sites misrepresent themselves with doctored or outdated pictures and others just simply fabricate things about their lives. In Dave's case, I'm not quite sure what he's being dishonest about because all the dialogue is in German and I only understand a few words. I suppose you don't need to fully understand the setup of DateSiteLiars to appreciate what comes after.
There are 158 videos and they can only be streamed in an embedded player. The vids look great, so they're quite easy on the eyes. They're also quite thrilling once the action starts, as they feature lots of pussy licking, cock sucking and fucking. if you want to skip right to the good stuff, you can do so by clicking the "fuck button." You'll definitely want to save these movies, but the problem is you that won't be able to.
There are 158 sets of high-res pictures as well and you'll be pleased to know that they can indeed be saved to your computer in Zip files. You can also view the photo galleries as slideshows.
The website hasn't always had the world's greatest update schedule, but it adds new content once a week these days. You can use the time between updates to explore the eight other sites that are part of the Adult Blast network, like Hunting For Pussy, Sex For Breakfast and Squirt Coach. Unfortunately none of the videos on those sites can be downloaded either.
While there's room for improvement, Date Site Liars comes with some sweet extras and has great-looking content. It would be great if its vids could be downloaded, but the website is still worth visiting if you're fine with that.

His tragic portrayal of deceased soldiers reaching out of the Vietnam Memorial to comfort a grief-stricken man is his attempt to gain perspective on the death of loved ones, and one of his first oil paintings. Proceeds from its sales, which have amounted to millions of dollars, go entirely to veterans' groups." (emphasis mine)

With smiles on our faces and tears in our eyes, we said good-bye to the last of our raw 2010 home-grown organic tomatoes tonight. It adorned our salad adding a pop of red to our plates and a burst of flavor to our tongues. How exciting to think that it grew from a plant we put in the ground in April and that it's sisters and brothers were picked as early as July. We ate them green – both fried and in chocolate cake, red and raw in gaspacho, salsa, and salads, and cooked in pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes, chili, and more. They were gifted to friends and guests, and even traded for pasture raised eggs. Good-bye summer tomatoes!
Guests Discovering Loganberry Farm4 Aug
Many of our guests are visiting LoganBerry Heritage Farm for its farmer's market from 10:00 – 2:00 on Saturdays and 4:00 – 7:00 on Tuesdays. As you enter the Farm's gravel drive surrounded by flowers and vegetable plants and drive past the rustic farm-house to the barn, you catch the sense that something special is happening in this slice of country heaven. Sharon the owner will greet you with her bright smile and floppy hat. She or Nadine will tempt you with delicious samples of yummy treats usually made with the farm's bountiful harvest. Nadine's peach pie is to die for. You won't leave empty-handed when you can buy sustainably raised fruits and vegetables right from the farm. Garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflowers, figs and more are in season now. Why not stop by? Afraid you can't do a winery and the farmer's market too? LoganBerry Heritage Farm is right around the corner from Blackstock Winery on Adair Mill Road.

Free Range Versus Pasture Raised Eggs18 Jun
At Cedar House Inn we care about animal welfare and eating healthy. Our breakfast ingredients contain organic milk, pasture raised eggs and seasonal veggies from our permaculture garden.
Many do not know that there is a big difference between free range and pasture raised eggs. We only use pasture raised eggs at the inn unless they are not available from the local farmer. Then we purchase free range organic at the grocery store.
Free range chickens (as defined by the USDA) have access to the outside but have no requirements on how much time they must spend outdoors. They also do not have any requirements for the size of the roaming area. Producers of free range eggs can label their eggs "free range" even if all they do is leave a little door open in their giant chicken houses. Often chickens do not go outside since they have not learned that behaviour. If they go outside there is often no bare dirt to scratch in or bugs to eat.
Pasture raised chickens stay outside and eat all kinds of seeds, green plants, insects, worms along with grain or mash. They have a hen-house with nesting boxes for egg laying and are free to come and go. They tend to be happier chickens and lay more nutritious eggs.
If you have the option, pasture raised chicken eggs are the preferred choice for nutrition and animal welfare.

Locally Grown Organic Food in Atlanta5 Apr
Many of our guests who stay with us live in the Atlanta metro area. Many care about purchasing wholesome farm fresh food that does not travel from faraway places to the store, minimizing their carbon footprint. We recently learned about Moore Farms and Friends through Georgia Organics. They are a marketing association of small Sustainable, Certified Naturally Grown and USDA Certified Organic food producers. They never use any toxic chemicals to grow their food and use earth-friendly methods which we like. You can order what you want online and pick up at many Atlanta area locations. Check out their video or visit their web site.
Video Update of Permaculture Vegetable Garden30 Mar
We filmed a short video today showing the progress made on the garden area using a permaculture sheet mulching technique. We also cleared the hill above the garden of the pine trees and planted peaches and blueberries that will provide breakfast ingredients in the future. The pine trees were used to make a living fence to keep out larger animals and to provide a habitat for birds. In the future we will provide more video updates.
Michael Pollan "Omnivores Dilemma" Talks About Food15 May
Michael Pollan wrote a book titled The Omnivores Dilemma that discusses the commercial food industry and the popularity of processed foods and high fructose corn syrup. The book had a major impact on my thoughts about food and where it comes from. My wife and I seldom ingest food or drinks with high fructose corn syrup or food that has been highly processed.
He is shown on the Democracy Now TV show in two videos that are linked below.
In the first video he talks about the relationship to confinement pork farming in Mexico to the recent swine flu outbreak. As a past college professor who taught consumer behavior I also found his comments on large food companies making unhealthy food additives live sugar appear healthy to the consumer. Another example of this is eating Cheerios to lower cholesterol.
Click Video 1 to watch.
In Video 2 he talks about how our school lunch program creates addicts of highly processed foods since that is what they serve to children. For example chicken nuggets.
In conclusion he makes a logical assumption that we cannot address climate change without first addressing our food since our food system contributed to global warming.
Click Video 2 to watch.
I believe they will have an influence on how you think about food.

Visit Lion's Heads all the way to Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula!
During the last ice age, about 7,000 years ago, powerful waves pounded holes in the rock wall that is now the Niagara Escarpment. Bruce County has a fascinating collection of these caves and caverns, some linked by tunnels and adorned with weathered, hourglass-shaped pillars. Geological spectacles, scenic icons, natural funhouses, each with its own story, they await the curious adventurer.
Greig's Caves (Open April 28th to Thanksgiving weekend "Oct 10")
Claiming "Ontario's Largest Natural Limestone Caves", this attraction presents 12 caves and tunnels linked by a kilometre-long trail. The 1980's classic movie "Quest For Fire" was filmed here. Admission fees apply. 519-377-8762
Of the 7 km of karst caves (created by wave action) along the park's shoreline, the Grotto is the largest and most outstanding. It resides on the turquoise, sun-bright water of Georgian Bay and invites swimming on a hot day. Park fees apply. The easiest way to visit is to drive to the Bruce Peninsula National Park up toward the town of Tobermory and take a 30 to 45 min hike through the forest trails. It is very beautiful and animal friendly.
The 3-km trail that leads from the landing dock to the "flowerpot" rock formations loops back past caves. A set of stairs leads up to the maw of one while interpretive signs describe their formation. Park fees apply. Open till Thanksgiving weekend.
Deep in the bowels of this historic stone brewery, a natural spring flows through a network of manmade caverns constructed in 1859. Weekend tours available May to September. Admission fees apply. Open all year round.
Former home to Wiarton's hermit, Robert Bruce, this conservation area features a massive "undercut" cave with a crevasse at its back and a pillar at its front. Exploring inside calls for poise, stepping on rock rubble that has collapsed from the ceiling. Open and year round.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Fructose May Cause Digestive Problems
July 14, 2003 -- A sugar that's naturally found in many fruits and is the main ingredient in a commonly used sweetener may be responsible for "unexplained" flatulence, bloating, pain, and other gastrointestinal symptoms in many people.
A new study, published in the June issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology, suggests that fructose intolerance is a common yet underrecognized cause of digestive problems in some people. And the more fructose they consume, say researchers, the more likely they are to have problems.
An Abundant Sweetener
Fructose is a sugar abundant in honey and fruits such as apples, peaches, pears, and oranges. It's also the main ingredient in high-fructose corn syrup used in hundreds of juices, sodas, condiments, snacks, and other foods.
The problems occur because in many people fructose is not easily absorbed by the body. Fructose is usually absorbed in the small intestine, but for those with fructose intolerance, some travels to the colon, where bacteria ferment the fructose. This causes the release of hydrogen and methane gases, which cause pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea.
Table sugar does not cause this reaction because it also contains glucose, which aids in the absorption process.
In their two-year study, researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine studied 183 patients with unexplained digestive symptoms including flatulence, abdominal pain, belching, and altered bowel habits. None of the study participants were previously diagnosed with any digestive disorders.
Fructose Intolerance Test
Each participant completed questionnaires and took a test after drinking a solution containing the amount of fructose found in three glasses of apple juice, called a fructose breath test. The breath test measures the amount of hydrogen and methane gases produced in the intestines.
Researchers report that three in four patients experienced digestive symptoms after consuming the fructose solution. And among those testing positive on the fructose breath tests, nearly 90% had elevated levels of hydrogen while 11% had higher-than-average levels of methane.
These findings come as no surprise to two experts familiar with fructose intolerance.
"The fact that fructose is poorly tolerated has been known for long time," says Peter Beyer, RD, LD, of the University of Kansas Medical Center. "But what has happened in the last few decades is that fructose intake in the U.S. has increased as portion sizes have increased. As a result, likely so have these symptoms."
Last October, Beyer presented his own research at the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology indicating that 60% of his study participants with no known digestive problems were found to be fructose intolerant at intake levels half of those used in this study's fructose solution. Beyer, who was not involved in the new research, suggests that doctors routinely give fructose breath tests in patients with unexplained digestive symptoms.
"I don't want to give the impression that people will double over in pain or have recurring diarrhea from drinking a glass of apple juice or having a soda," he tells WebMD. "But it can trigger symptoms in many people with no diagnosed [digestive] condition. And the more fructose they consume, the more problems they may have. These effects may be more severe and apparent in those with irritable bowel syndrome or other known [digestive] disorders."

Ryan Anderson, Gia Allemand's Boyfriend, Breaks Silence About Her Death
Gia Allemand's boyfriend Ryan Anderson is speaking out following Allemand's sudden death, an apparent suicide.
"I'm deeply grateful for all the love and support we have received from family, friends and fans. Gia was the most beautiful person I knew inside and out and she always smiled and made everyone else around her smile. She had such an amazing impact on my life and anyone that knew her was blessed. All I have left is to cherish those memories we made together and help perpetuate the many values, faith and love that we shared," Anderson said in a statement.
Anderson, a player for the New Orleans Pelicans, had been dating the Bachelor star and reportedly discovered her unconscious in her home Monday night. Anderson called 9-1-1 and Allemand was rushed to the University Hospital in New Orleans where she was put on life support. During Allemand's time in the ICU, Anderson reportedly never left her side.
Before Allemand's death, Anderson tweeted a prayer to his followers, but he has not tweeted since.
"Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Luke 14:11— Ryan Anderson (@ryananderson33) August 12, 2013
Allemand was taken off life support on Wednesday after she no longer showed signs of brain activity or organ function.

Exterior steel door
I need to replace an old wooden door that goes into my unfinished basement. I want to replace with something sturdy that will be weather resistant. I'm thinking that a steel door would probably do the trick. This needs to be a plain, sturdy door, nothing fancy, because it's in the back of the house and will not be seen.
I'm having trouble finding a source for a plain exterior door like this. Does anybody have suggestions where to look? I live in the Atlanta area.
Steel door
Maybe I'm missing some info. A steel door is available through any mass merchandiser (Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) and any lumber yard. The most basic steel doors are either flush doors or six-panel doors. They would be prehung in a door frame. I'm not sure why you're having difficulty finding one. Where have you looked? Or what is it you're looking for that doesn't match the above description?
Are you looking for a light duty steel commercial steel framed door? They are less common but I have seen them in select Home depot/lowes stores. Depends on the demagraphics for the area.. But any one will be able to order it for you it will just cost more money. I dont blame you for wanting a steel frame the wooden frames they make today are very weak i dont even see the point of a lock. One small kick and you are in.. at least if the door isnt locked you wont need a new door just a tv...
One drawback to replacing a wooden door, especially an older one, with steel is that steel cannot be trimmed to size. Most of the time I have to rip out the jambs and all, and replace it with the prehung, usually having to modify the framing as well.
If you don't care what the door looks like, you could get some galvanized sheet metal and cover it, using a gazillion screws to make it solid.
In answer to earlier questions, I looked on the websites for Lowes, HD, etc., and didn't see the kind of light, cheap steel door I was looking for. Maybe they have them as special orders in the stores, though.
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
