Retained Is An Invalid Key! 1

[Error7]

I am sure the answer is obvious but can anybody help this dumbo

I have downloaded a VB application but when I attempt to load the .vbp into VB5 I get "Retained Is An Invalid Key!" and the application won't load.

I know, I used to have the same problem before I got VB6.0.

However, there is a solution and I'm sure many would have others that I hope will also help you. but for now, here's mine.
Go to

http://www.download.com

and do a search there. You will find freebies that convert VB6.0 app's to VB5.0 app's.

Hope this helps for now, but I'm sure someone else will have a better solution. "We Hope" HUH?

You can open the .vbp file with notepad or other text editor, delete the offending key(s), save the file and reload in the IDE.

Thanks Mark, that's what I like. A simple solution for a simple guy. It worked well.
