| I have a new Dell Dimension on which I installed Visual Studio.Net including
the MSDN Library. I also installed Visual Basic 6 Pro which I had on my
previous computer. When I start VB6 and load a project, if I press
Help\Contents I get the Error Message "The MSDN Collection does not exist.
Please reinstall MSDN."
The MSDN Library is sitting there in C:\Programs\MSDN - all 1.6GB of it !
Why can't VB6 find it ?
I'm sure this is very elementary but can somebody help me ?

The version of MSDN that comes with VS.NET does not work with VS 6.0. You
need the October 2001 MSDN Library. I'm not sure if it's possible to obtain
it without an MSDN subscription.

Thank you very much for the information. I still have the MSDN CDs which
came with VB6 Pro so I will just install them instead and hopefully
everything will be alright.
I do not particularly want to get VB.Net because Internet programming is not
a priority for me.

| Yes, they should be fine, each version of Visual Studio should use its MSDN
version. Of course VB.NET works fine for Windows programming, as long as
the user has the .net framework installed.
Then again if you want native programming, C++ is the way to go ;)

| Michael thanks for the info but I am still in trouble. The VS6 MSDN library
seems to open but some things do not load in an existing project and I get
the message that I am not licensed to use the software.
Needless to say it is all legitimate. I bought VB6 Pro which comes with the
VS6 MSDN library and have all the CDs etc.. What's wrong now ?
