Not using VB6 would drag you out of the 20th century. Why not use a language that is supported ? Or at least good ?
OK, my last answer was a guess, I don't use VB6. I took the time to read the docs, have you done that ?

Basically, the slash is not why your data is invalid. At least, unless the 130 is the object in the 'Applies To' list, and / is the delimiter. The docs are not THAT clear, but clear enough that I'm not sure you've read them.
