Dear Expert,

I'm no expert, but to compile your project into standard .exe do the following:
Click the "File" menu and mouse down to "Make EXE". Then click on it.
That's it.
Thankx for the reply !!! But i do know this way of converting. I am trying to find a way that which is converting the .vbp to .exe without the use of the visual basic software.;)
This is called a Visual Basic compiler. I'm not aware of any 3rd party ones, just Visual Basic.Quote:

You need to use only the VB6 compiler to compile the VB6 application. For doing so,
Try finding your VB6 EXE in your machine. Let us assume the path is
"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.exe"
Then you project vbp file is <ProjectFile.vbp>. Inorder to execute the file without the IDE, get into the DOS prompt mode
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.EXE <ProjectFile.vbp> /make
The <ProjectFile.vbp> file name should include the full path of the folders in your machine.
I think i Get it. Thx everyone....
Welcome to the forums. :wave:
If you consider this resolved, you could help us out by pulling down the Thread Tools menu and clicking the Mark Thread Resolved menu item. That will let everyone know that you have your answer.
Thank you. :)
And if you have VB installed then all you need to do is right click the .vbp file and select "Make".
I purchased my registered version VB Pro in 1998 but didn't start programming with it till 2007. I think I paid in excess of $500.00 back then. So as I understand your question and reply... You don't have VB6.0 on any of your computers, but you want to compile VB code that someone else wrote? If this is not the case then I'm totally perplexed. If this is the case then .... Sccatta! :mad:Quote:

Welcome to VBForums :wave:
First of all, please do not post your questions to a thread that is a different issue - you should have created a new thread instead.
No there isn't, for more information see the article about it in the "General" section of our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum)Quote:
