install SP6. The only issue that I have found with SP6 is it may pick up an out of date compilation of your application during the packaging process. The solution is to delete ALL old compilations and recompile before packaging your application. A little tedious but otherwise SP6 appears very sweet!

Rose Pierce) [Abolish the TV Licence - http://www.tvlicensing.biz/] heard rumors that with SP6 the DAO data-control can no longer directly
access an access db above access 97 even with DAO 3.6 installed not tested since i use SP5 where it works ok with DAO 3.6 If you install SP6 be sure to have a copy of old mscomctl.ocx, because
there MS adds a bug to Listview control, so that is no more possible to move columns by mouse (if you do your application crashs).
