   Never mind my previous question.   After numerous attempts, I've   
   finally gotten Visual Studio 6 up and running on my new Win XP Pro   
   machine.   
      
   I'm not sure why the following worked, but it did.  I manually   
   registered Dao350.dll via the regsvr32 command and then I deleted all   
   the non-system files that were on the machine because of the failed   
   installs.  The next time I ran the install package, everything went   
   through fine.   
      
   It was just a shot in the dark, but it worked.  I really thought   
   Dao350.dll was already registered.   
      
   For the new year I'd like to express appreciation for these VB forums.   
   They're extremely valuable resources for someone such as myself who is   
   self-educating.  And I'm not just thankful for the questions I get   
   answered by posting.  For every question I post and get answered, I   
   get 9 answered via a search of the archives.  I hope that my   
   participation sometimes helps someone either via the current forum or   
   via the archives.   
      
   Best of wishes for the new year to everyone.   
      
   cheers,
