Hi
I have been using a very old version of VB6 can I upgrade to a newer
version for free ?????.
Also I would like to change the printer from say printer "A" to say printer "B"
within the code. I have tried Set Printer but an error comes up Object requried.
Can anyone help........... Thanks..... Phlippy
Welcome to VBForums :wave:
VB6 is very old (it was released in 1998), and was the end of "Classic" VB.Quote:

It is a bit different from VB6 so could take a while for you to learn, but due to the large amount of extra features built-in you should save lots of time after the initial learning phase.
What code were you using?Quote:

Thanks for your advice. I have downloaded the VB 2008
as you say it will be some time before I understand it but
I will keep trying.
Once again thanks........... Phlippy
VB2010 (Visual Studio 2010) is out too, you might want to give that a go. But expect that it is much more resource (cpu/memory) heavy than the VB6, it wont work as fast.
Thanks Steve Jobs
I think VB2010 is too expensive for me I am just an amater
but I enjoy programming.

VB2010 is also free, from the link I gave before.
All Express editions are free (at least from what I've ran accross). So you can get the entire Visual Studio 2010 Express (not just VB) for free. You can get MS SQL Server 2008R2 Express for free too.
