 VB6.0 SP1 wiped out my Print method

I've just installed the SP1 for VB6.0 and I swear I've lost my Print method.
If I create a form called frmPrint and call:
frmPrint.Print "Boo Hoo"
from another form, I now get a 438 Run Time error - method not supported.

1) This didn't happen before SP1
2) I don't even get the Print method as an option in the Intellisense window
anymore - all I get is PrintForm.

I checked out the 438 Run Time error article in the knowledge base where
they tell you to edit the TabOrder.vbp file - I don't even have that file to
edit.

Has anyone else encountered this with SP1? Am I going to have to re-install
Visual Studio?

OK Here,

FormX.Print "Test". FormX.Picture1.Print "Test"  A-OK
FYI, Running a VB416/VB532 conditional compile project in VB6SP1 on NT4SP3.
Man, if nothing else, Microsoft has really helped increase the amount of
Jargon.

OK, now I'm REALLY confused! Maybe I'd better junk Windows 95 and do the NT
thing - I've been looking for an excuse.

If you're serious, I suggest (1) using a seperate unit,  or (2) putting in
2nd drive that you can plug / unplug for when you want 95 or NT, or (3)
using a dual boot operating system.  You may find NT not so satisfying, and
certainly will find it harder to configure than 95.  NT4 has no plug and
play, and no hardware wizards.  It looks and smells like 95/98, but the
change will certainly slow you down in the intial stages while you get your
system configured.

Good luck,
Bob

A note on NT 4.0
If your BIOS has an option for Plug and Play aware OS, set it to False.
I spent several hours fighting with NT Server over a network card before I
stumbled across that trick. Afterwards it worked fine.
