Read your reply with interest. I am a (very) amateur developer and - about 6 years ago - wrote some software in VB6 (*.vbp / *.frm files etc) in support of my job. Have just found that I need to go back and work on this again, but horrified to find that VB6 no longer supported. Have found some old VB6 software advertsed on Amazon etc, but am told I might not be able to edit my old vbp files if I run this with Windows 7 (which I now have). Any views as to the best way forward so I can edit and run the old VB6 files? Many thanks.
