    Re: Compiler

    There are two options:
    • Find a "proper" edition (eg: Professional or Enterprise) of VB6 second hand somewhere (perhaps eBay)
    • forget about VB6, and move on to VB9 (better known as VB2008) instead. You can get a fully functional version for free at www.microsoft.com/Express

    I realise now that I didn't make the second option too clear - VB6 code will not work in VB2008, so you'll need to re-write it (but there is an upgrade wizard that will help).
