VB 6.0 Questions

[hmmm...]

Does VB 6.0 come packaged with:

Data Controls (e.g. Data Grid) that can be bound to a database query.
Control that supports report formatting and printing (with print preview).
Control that supports display and manipulation (e.g. zoom in/out) of image
files.

Thank you

No clue. You could always write it, if not :)

Can you elaborate a bit on "somewhat"? :^) Thanks.

As for data grids, VB can use all kinds of neat things like Recordset
variables, and datagrids. From MEMORY the datagrid is used by adding the
"Microsoft ADO Data Control". I could be wrong, I never use the ruddy
thing. I really don't like Access, it has a tendency to want to store the
entire bloody database into a recordset variable every time you want to
query, traverse records, etc.

As for formatting and printing, I've never used it, but search google for,
"Crystal Reports". You could of course also just write the output to HTML
format. That's a rather randabout way of making a report though. You can
also have VB manipulate Word. Again I don't use that too often (I'm more of
a Linux guy, then a hardcore Windows programmer). If it's just a boring
report VB supports fixed-width fields, and alignment of text using tab(). I
guess it depends on your exact needs really.

As for zooming in and out of images, I would not have a clue how to do that.
Various people provide controls you can use to allows such. This seems to
be one: http://www.hallogram.com/vbtools/features.html
