Assuming that the Application directory is writeable and that HD space is not an issue, are there any downsides to putting the VB6 dependency files (msvbvm60.dll, etc.) in the .EXE's directory? I've got the most up to date dependency files and I'm guessing MS isn't coming out with any new versions of those so I figure it's safest (in te...

I'm using a VB6 PictureBox on my User Control. I set the PictureBox's picture, I set the BorderStyle to 0, and I set the BackColor to the User Control's BackColor. The idea is that I want a "floating" icon. However, I want that icon to appear clickable when the mouse hovers over it. Two questions: Which events do I use? MouseMov...

Does anyone know how to grab the HTML (as a string) from VB6 code? The LoadResData appears to be close to what I'm looking for but the problem is there isn't a HTML format...

With reference to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/280597/problem-with-date-daymonth-reversing-on-save I have further noted that even setting the Session.LCID on the page itself is making no difference what so ever.
