Upgrading from VB5 to VB6 - MS Common Controls Problem

[Sam]

Hi,

I'm upgraing the source code of a project from VB5 to VB6. Most controls
in my project upgraded automatically to the new version of the dll without
a problem, except for the MS Common Controls and MS Chart.

It seems that MS changed the name of the actual DLL file used for these controls,
for example in VB5 the dll was comctl.dll while in VB6 the ddl is mscomctl.dll.

Does anyone know of an quick solution to this problem. The alternative (v.
slow) option is to manually replace each VB5 common control on every form
with the VB6 common control and set the properties and then copy all the
code from the VB5 version to the VB6 version.

Help please!!!

Thanks,

Sam

Sam -

This is a "known" problem. There is wizard for this:

Go down to the bottom, and look for "Visual Basic, Version 6.0, ActiveX Control
Upgrade Utility".
