How can I find out which Service Pack that is installed for my VB6?
Once Vb is open just click the Help/About VisualBasic
and it will pop up a box with info on VB on your system.
What does the information tell me????
Version 8176
VBA: Retail 6.0.8169
Forms3: 2.01
How do I know which service pack that is installed 6.0.8169?
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
What does the Service packs do and is it better having them installed?
Thanks!!
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 . . .
