I am in the process of updating programs written with Visual Studio 6.0 to Visual Studio 2017. So far, so good, but there is a problem with the VS 6 that slows me down. I have two different computers and both show the same problems. I have SP 5 installed.

1. When I click on Projects, Add to Projects and either File or Components and controls The program shuts down. The only way I can add ActiveX modules is from within a dialog to right click and select Add ActiveX control.

2. The VS Toolbars. Toolbars can only be placed one per line, no matter how small. When I try to move a toolbar to empty space on a line, it always goes to the next line.

3. When I insert a new class with CRecordset as a base it causes errors. I found the problem is that I have to add #include "afxdb.h" to the header file.

4. Under Tools, if I choose Visual Component Manager, it just shows me the list of files that I have downloaded.

5. When I try to install SP6 the systems crash.

Is there a patch or SP7 that fixes these problems?
