PGP Decryption - Manual vs programmatically

I've inherited an old application that uses PGP 6.5.2 and VB6. I am trying to decrypt a file from a vendor. I am able to decrypt it if I right-mouse-click on it in Windows Explorer and select PGP, Decrypt. But if I try to do it programmatically I get a "PGP Error 32: Decryption Error." Encrypted files from other vendors can be decrypted programmatically without a problem.

I'm new to PGP so I don't know if a problem with the public key for this vendor could cause it to behave that way. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks...

I wish, but they want the least changes possible. Just enough to fix this one file. I'll keep it in mind as a last resort, though. Thanks!

I just found out they are using GPG version 1.2.1. At this point, I don't have any more time to devote to this, so I'll keep doing it manually. I'll go ahead and split the points.

Thanks...
