I think the  data bound grid control may have come from VB 5 and, thus, was
on my previous development computer from an earlier installation of VB5, so
it was available in VB6.  But on the new computer, of course, it isn't
there, and I can get it registered to the satisfaction of VB6.  I run
regsvr32 C:\WINNT\system32\dbgrid32.ocx and get the message that it
registered fine.  But that is not the case for VB.

I don't want to rewrite all these old programs to use ADO controls.  How do
I get the Microsoft Data Bound Grid Control to function in my new
environment?

I found three files: dbgrid32.ocx, dbgrid32.dep and dbgrid.reg on the VB 6
CD.  I put the first two in my system32 file of XP Pro.  I put the reg file
on my desktop and double-clicked on it to add whatever it had to the
registry.  I then ran regsvr32 C:\WINNT\system32\dbgrid32.ocx. And I now
have the bound data grid component, and all projects using it and the DAO
data control are fine.
