I get errors, saying the forms can not be loaded
Can you be more specific about the errors? Do you still have the source? Sometimes running it in IDE will put messages in the log version of the forms. But...I'm guessing you are missing some DLLs from the older operating system.
Re: Loading an old project
Well first of all you should not put those files in the VB98 folder, nor any folder within program files.
You should create a folder for your project either in My Documents or some where else that has full read/write access. Program files is a protected folder.
You could open the .vbp file with notepad and see what the program uses, You could post that content here for others to see and maybe get an idea what is wrong.
Same for the .log files that are created by the ide when a form does not load.
Re: Loading an old project
The project is unfinished, I don't have an .exe file just the source code, that is what I want to load.
When i load the project from the IDE iget this error log:
'0' could not be loaded
Line 0: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\AcaVB\Enrol.frm could not be loaded.
and :
'0' could not be loaded
Line 0: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\AcaVB\Stats.frm could not be loaded.
the same for every form. The files are there, at the path shown, I am at a loss to why they dont load.
Re: Loading an old project
Open the form file with notepad and look at the first few lines. Post them here if you want help with them.
Did you move them to a proper location?
Did you look at the VBP file in notepad?

Re: Loading an old project
