What is the last update for VB6?

The question almost says it. What is the last version issued, and where
might one now find the updates to get to that version?

Thanks,

LLoyd

I can't remember details though.

I've got it. Thanks, guys.

I dunno, though. I'm working on some old legacy repairs. I can't make
the object file come out the same length as the old ones, even tho' the
re-compiled object seems to work fine. Turned on and off every switch I
could find for run-time checking, updated my VBrun libraries... Oh, well

Sigh.... the "latest" when it was compiled may not be the latest now.

Time progressing does that :)

ones have been severely upgraded to function better... unless of course,
you LIKE living in the stone age...then by all means... don't upgrade. :)

They all come with VB6 regardless of service pack level.
What is new in SP6? I think your getting confused between
VB6 (as the version after VB5) and SP6 which is just bug
fixes (or bug introductions depending on how you want to
look at it)

Before you condemn something new, at least read the
release notes. And if all else fails, just get the service
pack and install it... if you don't like the changes, uninstall it.
Otherwise, have fun in the 19th century. :)

*ALL* came with VB6. Windows common controls 6.0 came with
VB6 - service packed or not.
If you can point me to an online version I would happily do
just that. However, you seem to *know* what 'new' and
'upgraded' features there are, so I was kinda hoping you'd
share this knowledge with me and any other passing reader of
this thread.

So far you haven't listed anything that you wouldn't get
with an un-service packed version of VB6.
