I was wondering if anyone has used VB6 with Vista yet. I have an application using a PIC and VB6's COM commands. The program has been working on Win2K and XP for quite some time. Vista has created some issues. Specifically, when I create an exe from the project file, the application bombs out when going from one form to another. I don't think it has anything to do with the comm ports. The application runs fine when run from the VB environment. I have reviewed Micro$ofts site regarding VB and Vista. Most folks are having trouble loading VB. Any thoughts, suggestions, direction are appreciated.

Issue was with the way a form was being closed. For some unknown reason, Unload Me caused the program to stop running and close.

I suggest you download the new (and free) Visual Basic 2008. It is a vast improvement over the old vb6, and I'm sure you will be thankful for it. (The first VB.Net was a pain in the arse, though.)
