Will that make the bugs show up in other developers apps even though they didnt see them with SP5?

Ask those SP5 developers to look at their components dialog at 'Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SPx)" or "Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0 (SPx)" and tell you what service pack it shows. Mine says SP6. In a "perfect world", we should be developing on the oldest OS/oldest SP we plan to support. That way, our setup packages rarely update any shared components on the end users system. In the real world, that's nearly impossible. In a "perfect world", we should be laying out our forms based on the lowest resolution we plan to support. That way, if we resize, nothing gets squished. In the real world, it's not as easy as it sounds. Especially since users that have their resolution set to 1024x768 'Large Fonts' will only get the screen real estate of a monitor set to 800x600 'Small Fonts'. -- Ken Halter - MS-MVP-VB - http://www.vbsight.com DLL Hell problems?
