When I try to start their SETUP programs I get an incompatible program message, and none of the compatibility settings that Windows suggests do any good. Following your advice I got VB6 installed with no problem on my new i7 64-bit Windows machine. How can I get a good connection to the SQL Server, but get the RDO Connection error when I try and execute a query? I'm lost! I use this type of query and RDO resultset in 99.9% of the SQL server access in my legacy VB6 programs. Qs$ = "SELECT ActionDate FROM activeengines"

This process has been tested on Windows 7, both 32 bit and 64 bit, with no problems. It also helps out when I need to squirt out a quick tool for use in my daily work.

There are about a bazillion legacy applications out there that have to be supported, and people like me who speak VB6 need to have the tools installed on our workstations in order to implement and test updates and such for these legacy applications. You may be wondering why someone would want to utilize VB6 on a shiny new operating system like Windows 7. Most of the information out there is for Vista, and most of it is queries for assistance. After surfing around the net, I've found very little information regarding installation of VB6 on Windows 7.
