Previous versions of VB

We have what appears to be a VB 3 project that we would like to open in VB 6. Is there an easy way to convert VB 3 files to VB 6?

Thanks!

You will need to start a NEW VB6 project, and then add the forms/modules to the new project. (I don't think you can open a .MAK file with VB6, but I could be wrong)

When you save the project, the forms/modules will be saved in a VB6 format.

Now, the question becomes, how much code has to be rewritten to be compatible with VB6. Only you can answer that question 'cause only you have the code. Once you have the VB6 project put together, run it and see what happens.

I tried that and got an error that the form is in binary format and cannot be loaded into VB 6. The help on the subject says that it should be opened in VB 3, saved as text, then pulled into VB 6.

Sounds like I'll just have to load VB 3.

Thanks.
