    Strange behaviour of Datagrid [VB6]

    Hello,

    who can help me out on a strange problem?

    Ik created a small app with vb6p (on w2kp). It worked fine, and i
    copied the generated .exe (68k) on my laptop (XPH)
    It complained about some missing ocx'es, so i downloaded them from the
    internet and registered them with

    regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system 32\TABCTL32.OCX
    regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system 32\MSDATGRD.OCX
    regsvr32 \WINDOWS\system 32\MSADODC.OCX

    The result : the app worked flawlessly.

    Because i wanted to create a fancy installer, i downloaded the
    microsft installer, and created a .msi

    When i installed the resulting MSI on my laptop, the following problem
    occurred:

    In the datagrid, the user can directly edit some character-fields from
    the underlying mdb. The description fields are shown in their full
    length.
    When the user clicks the description-field however, the original text
    (say 60 chars) is selected but somehow truncated to 15 characters.
    It is still possible to enter a longer text, but it works very
    cumbersome.

    I guess it has to do with conflicting versions of used ocx/dll, but i
    don't know how to fix this.

    Any guru out there who has an idea about fixing this problem?
