    1 Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition
    2 msdn Library - Visual Studio 6.0
    3 Visual Studio 6.0 - Service Pack 5

    Is this sufficient?
    What version (year and month) of ' msdn Library - Visual Studio 6.0' do you have ?
    Is it a pack of 3 (I think) CDs ? OR the single DVD that some of us managed to get ?

    If it is too old then you miss out on some 'Help' stuff (MS released VB6 before they fully completed things, particularly the Help)
    Thus they quietly allowed us (Purchasers of VB6) to get a free years subscription to MSDN in the form of packs of CDs or single DVDs
    If it is too new then you get flooded with a lot of VB.NET crap

    My 'msdm Library Visual Studio 6' is two CD's. The paper insert refers to mid-1998. On the CD's it says "designed for Windows NT and Windows 98". There are numbers:
    Disk1-Setup:
    0698 Part No. x03-73118

    Disk2:
    0598 Part No. x03-73123

    Service Pack 5 is one CD, copyright 2000
    1100 Part No. x06-21662
