fwiw, I breifly tried to build a project using the info from that article.
VB6 textboxes don't have the same DDE settings as VB4/5 textboxes do (which
is the versions the articles specify) so I bailed out.

I'm not sure but maybe this sample will help....

Rockwell has people run their "firewall utility" on PCs running SP2 because
they use ancient technology for communications. (don't buy rockwell
software.... ever)
