I realize it is a legacy IDE and my research on the net hasn't been that much of help. Every time I attempt to install VB6 on Windows 7, besides the alert notifying me of compatibility issues, the setup runs and fails near the end, to which the installation process fails ultimately. And when another attempt is made, certain dll files are supposedly unreachable.</p> <p>These are but some of the few links I have visited in the hopes of attaining a solution or even just seeing a few bread crumbs:<br/> - <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vbgeneral/thread/b1340d04-220b-4e20-a827-d9c0bc8dd6c5" rel="noreferrer">How to install VB6 on Windows 7</a><br/> - <a href="http://www.vbmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/vb/33424/VB6-on-Windows-7-64-bit" rel="noreferrer">VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit</a><br/><br/></p> <p>Before anyone says, "Why on earth would you want to install VB6 on Windows 7 when there are newer versions of Microsoft Visual Studio out!", VB6 is still required to maintain and update a legacy system already in place.</p> <p>So the question(s) is, is there a way to install VB6 on Windows 7 without compatibility issues? Is it better to install a virtual box and to run the VB6 IDE in XP? Or is there some other means to which I have not encountered that may be applicable to this dilemma?</p> <p>Thanks and kind regards,</p> <p>Craig</p>

    1. COI installed it no problem on my 64-bit Win7. The only interesting thing about my system is that UAC is disabled.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
