I have been using VB6 for a couple years now (I used VB5 for many years prior). When I started using VB6, I had no help file. I have tried to find a help file that I could use but have been unsuccessful. Is there a Microsoft or after market help file that I can attached to my VB editor to get...

This has me very bewildered! I wrote a vb5 program a couple years ago on my laptop. I have compiled it many times and edited it many times using the vb5 editor. I upgraded to Windows 10 on that computer and was still able to use and edit the program. That laptop had some issues a few weeks...

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop. I use VB5 to program and have for a long time. When I attempt to use the help file, I am told the help file is not available. This happened when I was using Windows 7 and was able to run a program called winhelp32.exe (I believe this is the name...

As you can probably tell, I am not an experienced programmer but I have written several programs which I use for my own uses as well as one I use at work. I have experienced this same problem in both places. When I try to update my *.exe program by creating a new one, I keep getting the error...

I am having a problem printing in VB5. Using previous versions of VB I was able to tell the printer what font name and font size and it would consistently print as I wanted. I need to print in Courier New so I can create columnized printouts but in VB5, sometimes the printouts come out right...

I am writing a simple database to keep track of jurors for my job (I work in District Court). I am trying to set it up so that when a filed loses focus, the first letter of the entry is capitalized (for first, middle and last names in case one forgets to capitalized properly). It works fine in...

I wrote a program I use at work all the time. It is not terribly complicated but pretty large. I wrote it and used it on a computer running Win 98 attached to a server running Win 2000. Everything worked fine and I could print anything I wanted. I recently had to upgrade my computer to Win...

Is there a program out there that will convert a program written in VB3 to VB5. I am a novice programmer but have written an extensive program in VB3 which I use at work. We have converted to a server which is operating under MS Server 2003 and it is not handling the 16 bit program at all...
