Perfect timing; there's an upcoming webcast on this topic at MSDN. You can register now at <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032420631&EventCategory=4&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US">http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032420631&EventCategory=4&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US</a>. By the way, the correct URL for ArtinSoft's Visual Basic Upgrade Companion is <a href="http://www.vbtonet.com">www.vbtonet.com</a>. The one you posted belongs to another resource from the same company; a complete VB6 to VB.NET migration FAQ. Thanks.Anonymous
