    I would say it's very unlikely. VB relies on Microsoft Windows functionality and components that do not exist in Ubuntu. Since those components are Microsoft's property I can't see any reason why they'd port them to a 'competing' product.

    yes you can run vb programs on most versions of linux, there s a converter /interpreter or whatever to make it all work

    check out mono or wine, i believe one of those will do it
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    If anyone would know the answer to this question, the Linux folks would.

    Wine *could* allow you to do this. I say could because Wine is not perfect, so if your VB app requires tons of extra dlls and what have you, then it might not work. But, if its an app that just displays the time, then its a good chance that it will.

    Easier to develop on Linux using a standardised language and port to Windows.
