    Yes, I have yet another problem!

    How can I use my VB6 (Home) projects in VB5 (College? I'm not allowed to transfer the VB6 runtimes, and I don't know if that would work anyway. Any suggestions?

    The project files made in VB6 you can use in VB5(although there might be some small problems). But to run a file written in VB6 you need the MSVBVM60.DLL and VB5 the MSVBVM50.DLL .So if you are not allowed to transfer runtimes you can't run the app.

    Generally speaking, the higher the version the more STUFF is in it. Most of the time if you stick to primitive structures, compatibility becomes a non-issue.

    Test the structures you wish to use (listboxes, command buttons,.....) in VB5 and use them in Exactly the same manner in VB6.

    Most of what you will need will be there. Keep the code as text files.

    Good Luck

    Yes, MSVBVM60.DLL is an updated version of MSVBVM50.DLL. Try copying the file MSVBVM50.DLL and change its name to MSVBVM60.DLL and see if it works.
