    Welcome to VBForums

    I'm afraid you can't with VB6, you need a more recent version instead.

    For more information, see the article Can I use VB6 to make a program for mobile phones/PDA's? from our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum)

    There has been an eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0 on the web for free (by Microsoft) which looks quite a lot like VB6. Problem is that, without additions, it won't work on Windows Mobile 5-devices and newer.

    I downloaded it once from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en but that link is dead now. The filename was evt2002web_min.exe, perhaps it can help.

    It is also unsupported (since 2003 I think), so is not a safe option - and as explained in the article I linked to, you cannot legitimately get hold of eVB any more (even if you are an MSDN subscriber).

    Ah didn't knew that, although the removal of the download link by microsoft could be a hint
    Thanks for letting me know.
