I am trying to upgrade our listview controls contained in the MSAccess XP
database from VB5 to VB6 to take advantage of all the additional
functionality they provide. I was hoping to either right click on the
controls and use the "Change To" functionality or the "Convert To", or
simply change the class information, but neither of these routes provides
this option. I have even had a look at the hidden tables to see how easy it
would be to pull out the raw form information and modify it but without
specs of the format of the tables it looks pretty much impossible.

I am quite happy to write the ChangeTo functionality as the conversion has
to take place on over 100 forms and even a week writing that would be worth
it.
But cannot find any documentation on this either. An added complication
maybe that we use sourcesafe to store our database.

If anyone could advise of a tool, path that I can follow to solve my problem
I would be very grateful.

Thanks Matt
 
Hi Matt,
not sure you can find a way to automatic conversion.
perhaps you can make a procedure which open form in design, look if activex
control there, collect all it properties, then delete it and insert a new
one

Alex,

Thanks for your reply I have to confess I did think of this and then think..
no there MUST be an easier way!! At least now that I have heard the idea
from someone else it may at least be feasible!

I'll make it my friday afternoon 'fun' project! lol.
