One more (hopefully that's all) sort of related to this topic.
Trying to run one of old VB4 projects, it wants vb40032.dll. I copied
it to the start-up folder and seemed to satisfy that need, but now I get
"error accessing the system registry". How would I go about registering
this dll file? Or, do I now make an .exe file with VB6?

I believe it is the October 2001 MSDN disks you need for VB6 to use
the 'help'.

He may want it, but he can't have it. You must remove his desire.

The fact you somehow provided it, is disturbing. As well as somehow
repairing another error by fiddling with a variable [the "StartDay =
day(now)" error].

Your projects are not yet fully converted. You are still referencing
within them older components (dangling or missing is possible too).

Have you applied Service Pack 6 yet?
Check References.
The registry problem may be a permissions issue, are you using Vista
or Win7.

To compile, open Options and select the Compile tab. Choose the type
of compile you want, then select File -> Make from the IDE.
But first I suggest you do a "Run with full compile" within the IDE to
resolve your component issues.

Oops!

Not 'Options' - Project Properties.

Re SP6. Should I see this indication in Help | About?
I downloaded vs6sp6B.exe from Microsoft, ran that and it extracted an
exe file, acmsetup.exe which I ran and got a response that it could not find
file acmsetup.stf.
