Hi! I am a new programer in VB but have done a lot of programing in basic. I have Visual Basic 5 Control Creation Edition. I developed a program to us in our office that will calculate amounts inputed. I would like to make this project run as a stand alone file or exe file, the book tells me I can compile it but when I do I only get a file the ocx extension. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help.
