I have a modest (word game) programme, which I have written with VB4 and which now functions as intended. But only in WIN XP SP3 of course and not in any later version of Windows. I do not have VB6 or equivalent and for the small use I may ever have it is not worth it to me to invest in VB6. I understand that to convert the programme to be able to work in WIN 7/8/10 etc. it is only necessary to save the design in VB6 and create a new exe (or perhaps exe + DLL). 1) Please confirm if this is so - or otherwise ... 2) If so my question is: are you able to perform this service for me for a reasonable fee? The VB4 design consists of the vbp, frm, frx, bas files and all the image and other files associated with the programme. Altogether approx 13MB I’d send all this by post on a Compact Disc (or suggest otherwise - but 13 MB seems a bit much to attach to an email, even these days, and the upload time with my connection would be considerable!) (The VB4 exe is about 3 MB – plus all the associated files) ---------------------------------------------------- 3) Supplementary question: Is it practicable to make a version which will work on a MAC? -------------------------------------------------- Trusting to hear from you shortly, Regards, Philip Minchom E-32300 O Barco de Valdeorras, Spain Tel +34 - 988 320 489

Hi, I am a Senior VB developer based in Australia. My specialty is upgrading VB3/4/5/6 applications. I generally upgrade them directly to VB.NET. You can download a free version of VB.NET 2015 (Community Edition) to view and edit the new project i would create for you. I could possibly mail you a DVD containing the VS2015 setup files if your internet connection is too slow (It's several Gb). I would recumbent going to .NET rather than VB6 as VB6 has only been guaranteed it will function on Microsoft operating Systems until 2020. 13Mb is a bit large for an email, what i normally recommend is to create a (free) DropBox account, and upload the file there. It will create a folder on your computer that you can copy the file(s) to, and it will slowly upload them in the background. It is intelligent enough to resume the upload if your internet connection is intermittent or you can't upload the entire 13Mb in one session. I have VB4 installed, and VB6, VB.NET 2008 (which is the last version of .NET that can convert VB6 projects to .NET) and the latest version which is Visual Studio 2015. (VB.NET 2015). I would only need the source files, not the EXE. I do not develop for MAC so I am unable to make comment on that but I could investigate further if this was a requirement. VB.NET can be converted to C# which is a lot closer to the languages used on a MAC. (I am actually typing this response on my Macbook so i am familiar with OS X). I look forward to hearing from you. Caleb.

5 stars in vba means everyone who took me liked my work. 10 years of experience. Do it in Microsoft Excel VBA - which you probably have. And yes I can easily move it to that. OR, I can easily convert your code to javascript and it will run in any web browser.... Or, you can change it to VBA.Net. Get Visual Studio express for free to do that, or you can use #Develop (pronounced SharpDevelop). I can walk you through any of these and get it done in no time.

Hi Philip, It is possible to convert to VB6, but that is already outdated by many years. The best would be to rewrite the app in VB.NEt. I have done a few such rewrites and I believe that that is the best route to follow. Do you have dropbox? Why dont you upload the project to a folder on your dropbox and then share it with me. I will supply you with my email address if you contact me. It is a lot cheaper to upload and you create a backup at the same time. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Warm regards from Gansbaai in South Africa Ernst

I have experience writing VB code, and have even more experience writing code in C#. So I can easily convert your program, and add perks too, which are: -> Voice Control -> 3D UI (I'm also a hobbyist 3D artist) -> Windows 10 Universal App (which would run on platforms like xbox, hololens, and windows phones)
