With Btrieve 6.15, you'll need the Win32 client on the WInNT 4.0 system. The only reliable way to access data with Btrieve 6.15 was with the Btrieve API. If you've got a Btrieve 6.15 SDK, you'll have VB 4.0 sample code that will also work in VB 6.0.
That being said, I would suggest upgrading to Pervasive.SQL V8. It's the current version of Btrieve, is still supported by Pervasive (while Btrieve 6.15 isn't), and has an SDK that has a number of access methods including ODBC, the Btrieve API, ActiveX, and OLEDB.
There's also a white paper on accessing Pervasive from VB on Pervasive's web site (http://www.pervasive.com/documentati...Whitepaper.pdf).

Why can't you upgrade to V8? It is backward compatible and should be able to read the data correctly.
In terms of the V8 SDK, you might be able to get it to work with Btrieve 6.15 but the interface DLL changed between 6.15 and V8 (actually it changed in V7) so you'd need to change that.
If you are going to use 6.15, you need to remove the V8 engine so it doesn't load.
