@DrUnicode: Somewhat OT, in your About box I see in the lower right corner "Forms3: 15.0.4420.101" while on my own I have "Forms3: 12.0.6604.100", otherwise all is same (apart from License box of course), are you able to shed some light on this, I thought I was up-to-date with everything? I have VB6 (Professional I will recall) installed on Win7-64.
