When the download says "Where do you want to extract the files?", where do I want it to go? Here?
E:\Microsoft Office\Office10
I had extracted to a temporary folder and ran SETUP.

Just looked at my Laptop and Help>>About didnt seem to indicate a service pack version so I looked in the VB98 directory and all the files were dated 1998.
I had the VB6 service pack on another machine so I extracted it to
c:\temp\vb6sp6\
and ran setupsp6.exe which installed the service pack. Didnt even have to reboot. Now the spash screen indicates SP6 and so does Help>>About
Why are you going to the MS office folders when you are trying to update Visual Basic ?
What I dont understand is why my laptop was working when I didnt have any service packs installed unless Windows XP already has some updated files that VB used.
Before I installed the service pack I created a very basic project from scratch using just the components and references already discussed and using just the ado declarations and setup in Form_Load and that didnt produce any error.
Beats me 
I'm wondering if it is the database that is messed up rather than VB
