    <?>

    Once Vb is open just click the Help/About VisualBasic
    and it will pop up a box with info on VB on your system.

    Ermm.....

    At the top of the page there is a line that goes something like

    Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (SP?)

    The ? will be the currently installed SP

    Additionally the splash screen also shows the same info

    Service Packs

    They fix things! Certain controls have inherent bug, functions don't work as appropriate etc. These are all fixed (maybe all is too strong) when the SP is installed.

    While we're at it is there any truth in the story that SP4 stops you opening multiple instances of VB? If so then I'm not going to install it . . .
