    VB Colour Converter

    Hi, Just a peice of software to convert colour codes, as i couldnt find anything to do what i wanted on the net i wrote my own. This is useful when converting HTML Hex or RGB values to VB Hex or visa versa.

    The app is free to download and use as much as you like

    Please let me know if this programs works properly as im not sure the installer installls all components.

    Also any additions or error in the program please report to leedale@appdalesolutions.com

    If the OP does not know how to attach a project, would he object to someone else attaching the project ?

    Re: VB Colour Converter

    If anyone re-creates and attaches a copy of the project to this thread, that is absolutely fine... posting it elsewhere and not crediting the original author would be different.

    As the original poster hasn't been back since 2005 it is unlikely that they will do it, so it would be appreciated if somebody else did it.
