   I discovered an amazing hitch in VB6 SP6.   
      
   I run a Sub Main that shows a splash screen, initializes a number of items,   
   takes down the splash screen, and shows the main form.   
      
   While trying to track another problem that I couldn't run in the IDE because   
   this problem (an ADODB OLEDB connection to an SQL Database that runs fine in   
   Windows 2K, and blows up on the recordset open in XP) has to be run on   
   another machine without VS6 installed, I inserted a whole string of msgbox's   
   to track down the offending statement.   
      
   The last msgbox is after the final form show, and before the Exit Sub in my   
   Sub Main.  Guess what happened to me next?   
      
   When run under these circumstances in the IDE, the main form load event   
   fires as expected, AND THE FORM ACTIVATE EVENT DOESN'T!   
      
   SP7 anyone?
