You are bypassing it when you press yes.
The problem is that your app uses it so you either need to replace it
with a newer equivalent or get the old file for it to use.

If your app is functioning properly and you're not using dbgrid32.ocx then I would remove it from
your project (Project...Components...uncheck Microsoft Data Bound Grid Control 5.0).

That error box seems to have been resolved with the following steps.
In the Form_Load I was setting a variable "StartDay = day(now)". This
was repeated in a Timer routine. I remarked out the variable
setting in the Form_Load and that error no longer pops up.

Thanks for all the help. It's been quite a while since I've tinkered with
this stuff, so if you'll bear with me for another question or two...

When first opening VB6 a new Form1 opens. When I either cancel that
or Open an existing project, I'm asked if I want to save that blank new
form.
I'd prefer the opening to give me an option of opening a recently used
project. I'll be searching, but thought your answers might be quicker.

Earl

When you first start VB6, you are probably clicking "Open" on the first
dialog. Instead, click the "Recent" tab.

Also, VB6 by default shows you its own EXE folder when you try to save new
projects. To make it default to another location, copy the shortcut to your
desktop, and change "Start in" to a folder where you want VB6 to show you by
default, such as "C:\VB".

From the menu: Tools - Options - Environment

Should be obvious at that point.
