Randy,
Thanks for the info - I was finally able to get the HOTFIX from
Microsoft like you said - the original support rep didn't seem to know
much about it but I called back and quoted this post and it lead to a
resolution. Just to let you know that they are suppose to post this
on the Microsoft Website as a supported hotfix this week - here is the
info that was emailed to me....

FIX: MSCOMCTL.OCX Listview control cashes 0xC0000004 (Div by Zero
crash) WGID:248
ID: 841999.KB.EN-US CREATED: 2004-05-06 MODIFIED: 2004-10-18

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 (Version: 6.0)
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
(Version: 6.0)

SYMPTOMS
========
When you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack
6 (SP6) or an application that was created by using Visual Studio 6.0
SP6, the compiled application or the Visual Studio IDE quits
unexpectedly
if you reorder the columns in the ListView control.
This problem occurs if your Mscomctl.ocx file
is one of the following versions:
- 6.1.97.64 - This version is included with the hotfix
for 826287. For additional information about this hotfix, click the
following article number to
view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
KBLink:826287.KB.[LN]: FIX: ImageList control from Mscomctl.ocx may not
work correctly on Windows XP or later -
- 6.1.97.82 - This version is included with the Retail release version
of Visual Studio 6.0 SP6.
Note This problem occurs only on Microsoft Windows XP and later
operating systems.
CAUSE
=====
The hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 826287 changes the behavior for the ListView control when
Visual Studio 6.0 is running on Windows XP or on a later version of the
operating system.
Most of the ImageList control calls in Mscomctl.ocx are wrappers calls
into
the ImageList Shell Common Control class defined in Comctl32.dll.
However, the ImageList_GetImageRect method is not wrapped. This method
still uses the earlier version of the ImageList structure and the
earlier version of the ImageList control class that are defined in
Mscomctl.ocx. This design causes a
divide-by-zero error to occur during the column reorder
operation.
