> I have several VB 4.0 applications I wrote in Windows 95 and 98. I am now
running XP Professional. I need to make some changes to the originals but
the projects don't load correctly in XP Pro. For example dblist32.ocx will
not load nor can I access the Data Manager. Anybody have any ideas on how
to get around this? I don't have VB 6.0 available but I tried these apps in
VB 6.0 at one time and could not convert them without a lot of work since I
used dbgrid quite a bit and that wasn't available in the VB 6.0 version I
had at the time

I know of no problems with the 32 bit version of VB4 running under WinXP.
That doesn't mean there aren't any. You need to clarify a bit. You said
"the projects don't load correctly in XP Pro". Expand on that. Just saying
that they don't load doesn't really tell us a thing. What errors, if any,
are you getting? If you're getting errors upon loading a form, then most
likely VB is writing a log file of the errors. What does that log file
state?

The DBGrid control was discontinued either in VB5 or VB6 (I don't remember
which). If you have the Pro or Ent editions of VB5/6, you can manually
install this control from the "M:\COMMON\TOOLS\VB\CONTROLS" folder (the
exact disk and folder will vary depending on whether you have VB or VS and
what edititon).
