Out of the closet.. - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Hal Davison

Greetings !!

Last week I drug out of the closet my VB 6.0 that I purchased two years ago
and installed it on my new XP platform.

All is well other generally.

Since this VB 6.0 is a virgin, was trying to find out if there were any
Service Packs that I should install and any possible 'GOTTCHA' that I need
to be concerned with.

Service Pack 5 is the latest available and sums up all other service packs.

As well I'd be sure to install the latest MDAC (version 2.6 I believe but
you can look it up :-)....

that should take care of 99.99% of teth gotchas...the .01% risk factor is
because you're in Windows...heheh ehe.
