Re: vb6-vb2005 conversion

I used the conversion wizard on a smaller project that what you have listed
15-20 forms and maybe 2 dozen classes.

The upgrade was a slow and painful process. It takes alot of patience and
mental toughness ;-)

I don't know that I would rely on the wizard handling your ado connections,
recordsets, etc...
It's something you may have to go through after the upgrade.

I've only done this once, and we were using DAO.

Good luck .
