    Most of the time the App will run on just about any Windows Ver, There may at times be issues on a certain ver, but personal experience has shown that if you recompile the app on that Specific Windows Version it will work (Note: with out modification to the code)...

    Problem comes when the Controls are updated, (OCX files) and you've compiled on a old version....

    Wouldn't the setup bring the old control OCXs with it and put them on the destination system?
    Or do you mean, older controls wouldn't work anymore on Win7?

    Keep in mind that Windows Vista and Windows 7 restrict access to certian folders where XP did not so in many cases the location of data files may need to be changed in order to work under these OSs.
    Always use [code][/code] tags when posting code.

    MSFlexGrid was one that we couldn't install. Not sure, but I think they've included the runtime for VB, for the most part.
