    VB6 Program Install on an IPad, possible?

    I have just created a Project in VB6 and am at the point where I now intend to distribute it among a half dozen individuals for their analysis prior to the actual distribution to others. The problem, in short, is that two of these individuals for the initial Debugging only have IPads. Is it even possible for an Installation of a Program, created in VB6, to occur on an IPad? If so, how would I even go about it? Thanks in advance.

    VB6 creates programs for windows based PCs. Ipads are a whole different animal that is in no way compatible.

    Thanks, that is pretty much what I figured, but I guess I just needed to hear it. There is a VB Compiler for IPad & IPhone that I may look into, but is probably not worth the effort. Thanks again.

    You can host your vb6 app on a windows terminal server and iPhone\pads, android tablets, raspberrypi, all have good rdc tools to connect and use them. This setup will likely only work if you are making "enterprise-y" software or only have a limited number of users.

    You'd probably be better off starting over in somthing more modern if you need to run on mobile devices.

    Perhaps remote desktop software on the IPads? Run your software on a Windows machine, and maybe there is something such as TeamViewer or ? for IPad so that your IPad folks can try it.....
