VB3 to VB 6 Conversion

The best and least expensive tool consists of "elbow grease".
You have to go through each project with VB3 and save each form and module in plain text, load each project in VB6 and note which controls VB6 refuses to load or offer 32bit upgrades.
If you find 16bit VBXs that can't be upgraded, save the VB6 project versions in a separate folder. You will need to record the properties and methods from the VB3 controls so you can recreate their functionality when you find 32bit OCX replacements. This really isn't that hard, unless you are dealing with a lot of third-party controls.
Good luck!
