I was wondering if someone could give me some info on the "upgrade" version of VB 4. I've got an ancient copy of VB 2 kicking around (not even loaded on this machine anymore) and was wondering if the "upgrade" version of VB 4 Pro would accept that as an upgrade or not. I'm guessing that the upgrade version probably has some sort of "sniffer" that detects old versions of VB but wanted to make sure that I'm actually going to be able to "upgrade" before I spend my money. If anyone could fill me in I'd be greatly indebted to you; thanks in advance. .

Whether or not VB2 qualifies for registering it, is another question and I don't know the answer.
