    located".

    Open up the project file in Notepad, and remove the lines (near the bottom) pertaining to Retained.

    Thank you so much. I knew that there was a way to do it but I could not remember how.

    You can also go in the backdoor.
    Open the app in vb6
    Messages you form can't be found..ignore and keep loading
    When finished go to project add form or module, whatever
    the case. Load forms and modules from there.
    Save it in VB6

    Or you can create a VB5 project and manually add your forms and modules to it.
