some beginning vb samples display error msg about not able to load
mscomctl and mscomt2 ocxs. Can someone tell me how to update them
in some samples? Looks like the samples have older version of the active controls. I am currently using visual basic 6.0

MsComct2.ocx

Animation
UpDown
MonthView
DateTimePicker
FlatScrollBar

=====================

MsComctl.ocx

TreeView
ListView
ProgressBar
Slider
ImageList
Toolbar
TabStrip
StatusBar
ImageCombo

Which book you are refering Visual Basic 5 or Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic 6 Application Development.

I am using VB 6.0..Although the book from QUE is titled VB 6.0, it contains VB 5.0 samples as indicated in the version of form1.frx in every sample that I am working on. It is obvious it is QUE's problem.

I had emailed them a note last Saturday about my problem. Hope they will be able to update the samples. And also their reply.

The book is printed in 1999. it should have the title Practical VB 5.0 as long as the accompanying cd contains 5.0 samples. Hope to hear good news from QUE.

Nevertheless, is there an utility that can convert samples 5.0 to version 6.0?
