RES: [VBCOM] XP

Arnaldo,

I've faced to problemas: the first is that the vsflexgrid light doesn't work
on XP. I had to change to vsflexgrid oledb. The second problem is regarding
the behavior of the format function. If you execute the following command in
the immediate window, you will get diferent results on W98 and WXP:

Windows 98/ME/2000/NT
FOR I = 0 TO 9: ? I + .5, ROUND(I+.5,0), FORMAT(I+.5,"##"): NEXT
 0,5           0            1
 1,5           2            2
 2,5           2            3
 3,5           4            4
 4,5           4            5
 5,5           6            6
 6,5           6            7
 7,5           8            8
 8,5           8            9
 9,5           10           10

Windows XP
FOR I = 0 TO 9: ? I + .5, ROUND(I+.5,0), FORMAT(I+.5,"##"): NEXT
 0,5           0            0
 1,5           2            2
 2,5           2            2
 3,5           4            4
 4,5           4            4
 5,5           6            6
 6,5           6            6
 7,5           8            8
 8,5           8            8
 9,5           10           10

Even more strange is that the ROUND function in SQL Server behaves
(correctly in my opinion) in the same way the format function in Windows 98
does, and they opted to change the behavior of format function instead of
round function in VB.

Regards,

Ronaldo

  Hello,

  We have a VB6 application, running in a 3-tier environment, with VB6
components, running under W2K and a database server SQL2K.
  What's bothering us is that 'till now, our environment used to be 90% W98
and 10% W2K Professional. But we've recently purchased a notebook running
WXP and couldn't find anything about VB6 and WXP compatibility advising that
it was or compatible nor incompatible. So, we were wondering if anyone in
the list would be so kind to help us finding some answers about this. Any
help would be appreciated.

  Plus, I have a personal doubt. Have been reading few things about the W2K
readiness Kit but didn't find anything also about the features that are
included in it and if it is necessary to run the VB6 apps and why...

  Thanks in advance,
