[ Ha, I totally forgot about that showing up in VB6 Help/About. Would have helped during an earlier attempt to enlighten some .Net fool. ] -ralph

Also on the splash screen - I think - but it goes by too quickly on this machine to check. The basic issues with upgrading to SP6 were relatively minor, and most often occurred with existing projects in development. Also not all problems were known when it first appeared, so not much help if one did have a problem. And overall there wasn't much that SP6 brought that was new or improved. - thus the general consensus was - if it ain't broke, why go there? Since then most issues/problems are documented - you can find a fix online or get help in this group. Second, SP6 "versions" of the runtime components are now installed with the new Windows O/S. You can actually avoid some other minor exotic issues with SP5 on Vista and Win7 if you compile against VB SP6. Personally if you are writing for XP SP1+/Vista/Win7 I would upgrade to SP6. Of course it depends on what your app is doing - it is always possible your app is riddled with "exceptions". And like all SPs commonly a PITA to go back. <g> -ralph
