I finally got everything up and running. VB6 is fun once you get into the hang of things, but there's so many tricks, so much flexibility. Programming the PC interface is going to be another project in itself.

Now I'm getting back in that VB6 tutorial I started a few months ago; I'm at the database access section. I defined a basic database for my application in Access (saved in 2000 format), but I'm getting an error when I try to use it in VB6; something about unknown database format. I figure VB6 can only read an older format like Access97 which probably means having to work in Windows '98 again.

Looks like I might have to set up that other PC with dual partition after all (Win XP and '98). I've been putting that off for a while now, ugh...
