Vb6 in 64 Bit

[Warrior]

You're telling me there's no emulation problems, and yet this topic is focused on one of the problems of that emulation...

That's probably exactly what he told you.

Not insulting you or anything... but programming teachers are usually teachers because they couldn't cut it as professional programmers. The first day in my first VB class, I was correcting my teacher on a language I had never used (I was using BASIC 7.2 for the Commodore 128 at the time).

Off-topic reply:  Don't fall into this trap.  Being able to correct someone on language symantics is far from saying they are not adequate professional programmers.  It would be like saying since George W. Bush lacks the basic English skills to construct a proper sentence, he is an inadequate president .... oh wait, bad example.

Back on topic:  What reason is someone trying to do VB 6.0 programming in a 64-bit Windows environment?  If it is to support legacy VB6 programs, just run them in a VM and be done with it.  If it is for new development, the company or person should seriously evaluate their choice of development tools, or at least of runtime platforms. They have a mismatch, the development tool being used was never intended for the runtime platform, never tested, and certainly not support.  Seems it would be a scary expensive choice in ongoing support manhours if the two were combined (VB6+64bit Windows).

LOL @ the bush comment.

Visual Basic 6 support should stop at 32Bit. It will only make me hope for the advent of the next installment of Windows (which iirc will only come in 64Bit)

just trying to us vb6 for my resume on application at the time. Didn't much matter now as to another job hired me in mid process of building a demo app.  appreciate the help though. strange how being an electrician offered more then the programming job I was looking into.

lol, you were going to put VB6 on a resume? No wonder the electrician job paid more!

By the way, I've been offered more for electritian jobs than programming jobs so far.

the company wanted someone to maintain and refine their vb6 app that is used at hundreds of places by doctors and nurses such.  They wanted to then port it to vb.net lead by the person they would hire for it. their loss.
