 Project file...contains invalid key 'Retained' I've downloaded two projects from the web in recent days and when attempting
to open them, I get the error message "The project file [project file name]
contains invalid key 'Retained'- Continue loading project?" If I select
'Yes', the project continues to load. Attempting to run the run the project
generates another error: "Compile error. Invalid outside procedure."
I'm using VB 5.0 Professional, with service patch 3. Any suggestions?

"Retained" is a VB6 thing, a property I think. Most VB6 projects will
run on VB5 without it, but in this case, it won't. Can someone please
explain for us VB5 users exactly what "Retained" does/means?
Regards, Otser.

Been there. Done that!
I too am using VB5 with SP3 and have found that VB6 projects include
this statement in the vpb file. My solution is simply to edit the vpb
file and remove the offending line. So far, it has worked every time.

Project file...contains invalid key 'Retained' Haloha,
You can try to open the VBP file in notepad, delete the line with Retained,
save it and open it in VB5, if the project doesn't use VB6 specific
instructions / controls, it probably work.
