    I've just installed VB6 SP3 - this piece of code worked fine in VB5 but now I get:

    Run-time error 458
    Variable uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic

    on the first Get command.

    Any ideas?

    Simon


    filePath = "motd" 'use this to test at home
    If Len(Dir(filePath)) <> 0 Then
    Open filePath For Binary As #1
    Get #1, , msgschoolname
    Get #1, , msgschooldesc
    Get #1, , countdowntext
    Close #1

    If you have anything early bound in your program and you are running the program that you compiled in VB6 on a VB5 pc you will have version problems. It has happened to me.

    Nope - it's installed on a brand new machine.

    If it's nothing major you can zip and email it to me and I'll run it on this machine and see what happens.
    The VB5 version that is....I'll run it on VB6
