UPgrade to vb6 didn't upgrade common controls

Mike Stricklan #1 / 4	UPgrade to vb6 didn't upgrade common controls Hi I just upgraded to vb6 and according to help, if the upgrade active x controls in the project properties is checked it should have converted from using comctrl32.ocx to mscomctrl.ocx. Help also says that it should detect a vb5 project file and do the upgrade. I don't get any messages when opening vb5 files about upgrading or saving as a vb6 file. I'd like to be able to force it to upgrade the controls so I can remove the old ocx from my project. Any ideas? regs Mike

Forturnately, Microsoft has released a free utility that will make the coversion for you. It's called ActiveX Upgrade Utility (I think). Just skim thru MS's Visual Basic pages in the download section. It should be there. - Jim

Peter Stambaug #3 / 4	UPgrade to vb6 didn't upgrade common controls Just another case of the documentation being wrong or broken I'm afraid. (The only thing that has dissapointed me so far about VB6 is the docs...) Anyhow, MS has a utility now to do that. I think they wanted to include it, but decided not to because it would mess with the standard way of handling active x upgrades (ie same control name .. new version = upgrade, differnt name = no upgrade). Just my geuss. Peter S
