[RESOLVED] Dissasembling my program

[BubbleLife]

Hi all,

I made a little program a while back, but after a Hard-drive crash I lost all my sorce code (I still have the exe since it was saved on my server).

How would I go about reverse-compiling my program to get it back into VB6 code? I want to change it

Thanks!

You cannot decompile Visual basic exes or dlls :s

Correct, see the Classic VB FAQ (link in my sig.) for a fuller explanation.

Agh, looks like I have to re-write it then. Lucky it isn't TOO big a program

Thanks! ^_^

Well, hopefully you've learned the lesson on backups...

[BubbleLife]

I did back-up, to my secondary hard drive. Both of my hard disks failed :/. I can't really back-up 200GBs of data too easily ^_^;;

Backups to the same media don't count, expecially on the same machine. Anyway you don't have to backup all 200GB at one time. Anytime you change your program you could zip it and copy it to cd, website or location. Remedying the need to backup all 200gb at one time.
