          To retrieve a number burried somewhere deep inside the string
should I evaluate each character in the string until the number is found or
is there any API can do that for me?

Using VB6 and Access 2000 with ado 2.1
I've written a VB6 routine that imports data into an Access table from a
.csv file.  This is done and it works great.  Errors resulting from
duplicate values in the key field in Access are handled (err -2147217887)

Are there any definite advantages of VB2008 over VB2005?
Thank in advance.

I am trying to write an application that controls a robot via a serial
port.  I made a robot class that includes the serial port over which I
send commands, and I would like to be able to have two different
threads for the GUI and for the loop that sends commands to the robot,

Is it necessary for all client computers on a network to have MS Access
installed in order for a VB6 front end app to connect to an Access database
file?

I am drawing a line with a series of psets.. and placing a shape on top to
show where the active plotting point is.
Pre-vista, the shape did not erase the line, and now it does.
I have the program compiled pre-vista and it works correctly.
