I'm calling some .NET classes from my VB6 app.
Can someone tell me how I can tell if the .NET framework is installed on my

I have a decade-old DLL I need to call from within VB. I have seen, and used,

We ran into the problem with the common dialog box where when you
selected a printer it changed it to the default system printer.  So, we
research this problem every year or so and this time came up with a

I have a stored procedure with parameters in Sql Server 2000, with one of
