 Compiling a VB app on WinNT vs. WinXP

Hi

I have a source code application which I need to modify and recompile. Does
it make a difference if it's compiled on Windows XP vs Windows NT?

TIA
Pauline.

Yes, there are differences when you compile it on Win NT vs Win XP (even Win
2K vs Win XP). I can even give you example of my application where few
components failed on Win 2K/NT after compilation on Win XP

Can you be more specific? Did you find why it happened, what components failed and why?
I'm about to compile a program, and I did not know there would be a problem like the one you
describe?

Thanks.

are you sure?!!

this sounds something like "if you compile you app in the VB IDE and then
w/o closing the IDE re-compile it again you get different executables!!".
sound pretty extreme to me.

i don't see a problem as long as the typelibs that are referenced in the
project are the same. if they are not -- then this is not the same project
in the first place.

the problems one might have involve different versions of activex controls
(right textbox?) or newer versions of components (ADO 2.5/2.6/2.8?)

HTH,
