    Good news we have another project for you to work on. Sweet. So I pull up VS2010, point it at the project in source control and then VS2010 informs me: Silly rabbit, you can't open a VB6 project with VS2010. :omg: :omg: VB6?? :mad: Why? Why does VB6 continue to haunt me? I've been trying to leave VB6 behind for 8 years and 3 jobs now. So now I'm installing Visual Studio 6.0. The future is here! :sigh:

      I sprained my ankle in the badminton court this evening, and it is still very painful. But, reading your post has made me realise that there are people in this world taking so much more sh*t than an ankle sprain. Suddenly, I feel better and I think I can sleep peacefully if I go to bed now.

            Just tell them that VS2010 can't open a VB6 project, and that you have to convert it to C# as a result.

                It could be worse. You could.... ummm... A raging horde of... errr... My ex-wife could... damn... The world could have run out of bacon and.... OK, I'm out. Nothing is worse than having to work on VB6.

                  Which leads me to wonder - does Donatella Versace or her plastic surgeon(s) use VB6?

                    That could explain a few things. Here face could be the result of a COM exception that blue screened the surgery.

                      I was slightly amazed that the project compiled once I got it on my machine. I was all set to have to hunt down some old 3rd party control on a 3.5 disk in a closet somewhere. And then hunt down a machine with a 3.5 drive to use it....

                            I have not read the other responses, but I have learned that VB6 will live on like cockroaches after the apocalypse. No matter how you yell, scream, shudder, convulse, complain, cry....VB6 will exist....forever.
