Strange behaviour of Datagrid [VB6]

Hello,

who can help me out on a strange problem?

Ik created a small app with vb6p (on w2kp). It worked fine, and i
copied the generated .exe (68k) on my laptop (XPH)
It complained about some missing ocx'es, so i downloaded them from the
internet and registered them with

regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system32\TABCTL32.OCX
regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system32\MSDATGRD.OCX
regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system32\MSADODC.OCX

The result : the app worked flawlessly.

Because i wanted to create a fancy installer, i downloaded the
microsft installer, and created a .msi

When i installed the resulting MSI on my laptop, the following problem
occurred:

In the datagrid, the user can directly edit some character-fields from
the underlying mdb. The description fields are shown in their full
length.
When the user clicks the description-field however, the original text
(say 60 chars) is selected but somehow truncated to 15 characters.
It is still possible to enter a longer text, but it works very
cumbersome.

I guess it has to do with conflicting versions of used ocx/dll, but i
don't know how to fix this.

Any guru out there who has an idea about fixing this problem?
