What pitfalls/problems are to be expected (if any) if I try to convert an application written in vb5 to vb6? Can I simply run it on vb6 or will changes be necessary. The application is about 1.5 mb.

Personally I did not have any problems. There are some enhancements with VB6 but none of this should make a difference.

VB5 to VB6 is pretty easy. Going back is tougher, since VB6 adds new elements to all your .frm, .bas, .cls files. Make sure you have a backup first.
