Something you VB6 users should know

[Jacob Roman]

I use VB5, and the most annoying thing I hate when downloading VB6 projects from the internet is when their class modules have this:

MultiUse = -1  'True
  Persistable = 0  'NotPersistable
  DataBindingBehavior = 0  'vbNone
  DataSourceBehavior = 0   'vbNone
  MTSTransactionMode = 0   'NotAnMTSObject
End

So for the love of God, please remove these from your class modules because the people who use VB5 can't run the code without getting an error on these lines.

Another thing is a line in the .vbp files from VB6, which is this:

Retained=0

Your project will load fine without this line. So remove that as well. However, saving the project in vb6 will put this line back in. So whenever it's ready to be uploaded in a site, remove that line before zipping up your project.

Also you may wanna think about sticking these in

That way your project is compatible with VB5. Thank you.
