Hi Bill, Did you have any issues registering ax ddl's and ax controls? IIRC When I tried loading VB projects it would have missing refs and I couldn't work out how to register them. Maybe I was mistaken, it was a while ago! Most were files I'd created and maybe recompiling would have solved the issue, but I didn't take it any further. Didn't want to load and compile 10 projects just to get another project up and running when it all worked fine in XP. Are there any issues I need to be aware of with 64bit Vista? Do I need 64bit versions of VS or SQL tools etc? Any issues compiling for 32 bit? Problems with drivers? cheers Michael Michael, I am using vb6, VS 2005 and 2008 on a Vista 64 bit machine with no problems. I also have installed vb6 apps and they run fine as well. You might try uninstalling VB 6 and reinstalling, but generally if it will run on Vista 64 it will run on any Vista.

I have a Virtual PC with Vista installed on my old pc and found developing on it pretty annoying with VS2005. I also ran into big problems with my legacy VB6 apps that I still support. IIRC I could not find a way to regsvr32 controls and dll's which made VB6 dev impossible and I gave up. Has anything changed? Is Vista an option for Dev work or should I just stick with XP? Sorry if this is OT. cheers Michael M _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com No virus found in this incoming message.
