However you say ListView is from MS Common Controls 5.0 (sp2) which is OK because this is allready showing in components and references (comctl32.ocx and comctl32.oca respectively). Incidentally I thought Ver 6.0 should be using the mscomdlg.ocx not comdlg32.ocx do you think this has a bearing on my problem ? I thought the control I was using was from MS Common Dialog 6.0 (sp3) using the files comdlg32.ocx and comdlg32.oca, - just goes to show how little I know:o Unfortunately I'm still a little confused. Thanks for your reply, It was very clear and easy to understand:) Sorry it is not a simple solution :( but I hope it helps :) There is no ListView ItemCheck event in 5.0 - I would suggest starting with a Find/Replace - Find:"MSComctlLib." Replace: "ComctlLib."

Review any code involving the controls - there are differences between 5.0 and 6.0 e.g.Rename the new copies to their corresponding 6.0 controls.Remove the original 6.0 version controls.Change the properties in line with the controls you need to replace.Create copies of any controls from Common Controls 6.0 to your forms using the 5.0 version - tricky as they will have the same icons.
