I've use DoDi's decompiler - is ter a better one which will create the forms in "proper" mode and not binary?? Tym ~There's no place like 127.0.0.1~

Hmm... ? ? When I open the MAK file, in vb4, I am asked to upgrade the following ? custom controls in the project to their newer versions: ? CMDIALOG.VBX ? CRYSTAL.VBX ? MSCOMM.VBX ? MSMASKED.VBX ? THREED.VBX ? ? The only one of these I have from the original archive is MSCOMM.VBX. ? I have sourced the others though... not sure which directory to put ? them in though - windows\system seems logical to me. ? ? Then I get ? ? "License fil for custom control not found..." for MSCOMM, Masked edit, ? Sheridan 3-D Widgets/1. ? ? When asked If I want to save the forms as VB4 I click OK FOR ALL ? ? Then I get "Custom control 'VBX.SSFrame' not found" ? ? etc etc... ? ? However...... ? ? If I start a NEW project and add the controls I can design with ? them... Odd... ? ? I'm trying to start a blank projet and add the forms in manually, but ? the VBX.SSxxxxx is still causing a problem. ? ? Is this to do with the controls or sswin.dll?

Will it be good enough to obtain the ones that are installed with the applicaiton?? It also says I need the forms in text not binary... >http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B138531 I *do* get asked to convert, and I accept but then it fails on VBX.SS???? missing... However... Using Dodi I have found that these controls it referes to are part of threed.vbx. I think I need to spend some more time getting this to "register" properly as it were Tym ~There's no place like 127.0.0.1~

Weren't you able to save them as text? Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) |
