I use both vb5&6 which both use version 4.5. I have recently brought version 8 and installed it. The CD does contain a newer version of the crystl32.ocx version but this does get copied across during the installation, even when i choose install all possible components. So I presume that i have to upgrade it manually. I tried to copy the file manually to the windows\system directory, but this just resulted in a an error due to the component not being registered. If any advice could be given i would be very grateful
