    Smile Re: vb6 error

    Okay. Several weeks ago my hd crashed, c petition. Of course I had to reformat and reload everything. I reloaded office 2010 and vb6 enterprise. All of my development stuff was on the d petition so I didn't lose any of that. When I tried opening vbp files, with the data contro, I get the ISAM error message. So I tried a new app, instead of ISAM error I get the unreconized dataformat error. Hope this helps and thanks for responding.

    Re: vb6 error

    As part of your re-installing, did you install the latest Service Pack for VB6?

    The data control is one of the things which is very likely to have been patched at some point.

    Hi: I did at some time but I'll do it again. I have uninstalled vb6 several times would that also uninstall the SP?

    I'm not sure, but I would definitely expect it to.
