VB5 and 6 compatability

[Robcrowell]

How do i make sure an app made in vb 6 will work on a vb 5 machine? I know there is some line you have to delete, but cant remember what it is. Also, if i use a vb6 control, such as the winsock, can i make it work on 5?

And another question-
How would i ass elements to a menu at runtime? Like the favorites, or a list of recently opened files, and whatnot?

If you were to open a VB5 project in VB6, you would get an error about a line. Than you could just create a new project and add the files that way, or you could open up the vbp file, and delete the line that says "Retained=0".

In order for a VB6 program to work on a machine that only has VB6, you'd need the Msvbvm60.dll file on the machine. Winsock is not a VB5 or VB6 control. It can be for both versions. So if you have Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0 on your computer and they have the same control on their computer, than your program would work. But if you had 6.0 and they had 5.0, than it would tell them that they need to update their Winsock Control.
