Versions supporting .exe files

[Levells]

What versions of Visual Basic support the File | Make... command? I am using VB 6.0 Working Model edition and it doesn't allow me to use that. I tried the Package and Deployment wizard but it gave me an error because there was no .exe file.
Right now, I can use the school computers to make the executable file but that will only last for so long.

Only the Working Model Edition (and Learning Edition, but I think that was VB5 rather than VB6) have that limitation, the others (such as Professional and Enterprise) allow it.

However, rather than buy those (which would need to be second hand, via eBay etc), you could download VB Express for free from Microsoft.com/Express

That allows compiling to to .exe, and has enough features for most people. The downside is that the code is a bit different to VB6, so it will take a little while to learn the differences.
