I'm trying to convert an older vb program into vb6. But it contains binary files that cannot be converted by vb6. If someone has vb4 can you please convert these for me?
I think opening them and re-saving it in vb4 would make it readable in vb6.

Saving them in ASCII mode would make them readable. Just saving them saves them in binary mode.
well to save them as ascii i first need to open it up. And i cant open it without vb4. So it would be helpful if someone who has vb4 would open it and save it as ascii.
Thanks
I just meant that "I think opening them and re-saving it in vb4 " isn't quite enough. Someone with VB4 might do that and post the new files for you, but they'd still be binary unless he saved them as ascii.
well I have not got VB4 installed at the moment but tryed with Vb3 managed to convert ANALYSIS.bas and module1.bas but I cant do the main.bas
but I think as someone said if you use VB4 you can export to Text that what I did in VB3
I still use VB3 and VB4 16bit. Here they are. There is nothing in Main.bas. There are no Forms why? ;)
Thanks a bunch. I can open them up now. So it doesnt really need to be saved as text. I can open the bas files created by vb4 using vb6.
Only if they're saved in ascii format. VB6 won't open your original files.
These are VB3 modules so I opened them with VB4 16bit, converted them and opened them with VB6.Quote:

Ok, for anyone that doesn't have VB3 or VB4 16bit and you want to convert a VB2/3 app to VB6 then I've found a convertor.
Download the from our site because the Crescent Software link doesn't work anymore.
It works pretty good. It uses a database to store the 32bit API calls. I've only had a quick play about with it at the moment. I haven't worked out how to stop it printing the final report screen yet, even though there is a print button on there. ;)
I open the files in VB4 (16b); modMain was empty. The others are here:
(In UltraEdit everything looked unreadable)
You are talking about the original topic. I know that I told him. ;)Quote:
