I am trying to open an existing VB project that was sent to me from another
site. I am using Visual Studio 5.  When I try to open the project I get the
message C:\Microsoft. visualbasic.targets not found.  What does this mean and

Winsock is not installed on most Windows PCs, and I'm really trying to limit
the external runtimes I add.
I've Googled this, and seen some /extremely/ complex code. I can't believe

This is Windows, right? So I know I can. But I'm not sure how:
I want my program to start up using a local data file (about 10 MB in size),
so operation can be quick, and then, in the background, check for and copy

Basically, I want my VB6 app to do something different the first time it
runs, after the PC is restarted, than any other times. I want it to be
triggered by my app (not just have an app in the Startup group), so if it is
never run, it isn't needed. But I want my app to update a ...

This question is about VB6.  I have a form called by a "caller" form.  I
need to set some control values in the caller form from the called form.
Normally, callerForm!controlName.propertyName would be adequate.  However,
the called form will not always be called from the same ...

How to do that programmatically?

text (open text file or Excel spreadsheet) is Unicode or not.

I am totally confused:
Why does a MouseUp event trigger a MouseMove event?
Is this a bug or a feature?

I have been using VB6 on my PC for over a year now.  About a week ago I
started getting an application error anytime I open a form in the designer.  
I thought my projects had been corrupted but it happens if I start a brand
