I've written a application in VB6 that uses a DAO/Access 97 database. It runs fine under Windows 95/98/ME but gives me an Error 6: Overflow on startup when run under Windows 2000. Any ideas and/or salutions on what the problem could be or is it not possible to run VB6 Apps under Windows 2000.

It is possible to run VB6 under W2000. What you have to remember that W2000 is NT technology and some API's that works under W9x might not work on NT platform.

Thanx. As a beginner at VB6 how can I go about finding the problem API's or is it easier to just say the program won't run under Win2000.

Hello,
The best book is MSDN.You can find what you want there. I encountered the same case as you before, I solved it. Good luck.

Check your API's in AllApi API guide. It is written there under which platform an API works

No luck as yet.
Where in the MSDN do I find it. How did you solve it. I'm a beginner and battling.
Thanx
