That's probably because you don't have the MSDN collection - it can be found online at http://msdn.microsoft.com (remember this is online, not for download)
Cheers!
Install the MSDN library. It comes with VB6. Don't install a library that was created any later than October 2001 - otherwise you are installing one that is connected to .NET, not VB6.Quote:

I have the same problem. My MSDN is from July 2003. Is there any way I can change the path to point somewhere? Perhaps a registry key? Company "policies" always require me to have the latest, although it's pretty stupid.Quote:

You can install the older MSDN on the same machine as the newer one and they will happily co-exist. The older one is designed to connect to VB6 and the newer one to .NET. Since October 2001 is the 'latest version' for VB6 your "policies" (don't you love 'em) should be happy.
Thanks. Although a workaround, which I doubt is easy, would be something that gets the best of both worlds. :)
