Hi Rick.

>Was 6.00.8022 released with VS6? If so, why would version 5.0h of SDT require a VS6 version of the control?

Well, it's a sad story <g>, but the ProgressBar is the one ActiveX control in SDT I didn't replace with an ActiveX loader routine (as I described in a FoxTalk article a few months back). So that means the form looks for the same version of the control as is installed on my system. This is one of the reasons I went with a thermometer in native code in SDT 5.1.

>IAC, I'm evaluating SDT 5.1 now and will probably upgrade. As you know I've been a fan [ and registered user :-)) ] of Stonefield products since SDD for 2.x and I've never seen an upgrade yet that wasn't worth the investment.

Thanks for the kind words!

Doug
