you get more tools and references with the enterprise edition. Like i know with VB5, the pro edition didn't have a reference to RDO available. the enterprise edition did. You also get some other "visual studio" tools and whatnot with the ent edition. I've only used the ent ed of vb6, so i'm not sure what the difference between pro is for this go-around. i'm sure there a question of add-ins available as well as components and references.

Just a thought,
John
