    Question Where to get VB 3 or 4?

    I am in need of writing some 16 bit code... yeah, I know... I no longer have VB 3 or VB 4 to compile 16 bit... I knew I should have saved that... oh well. Does anybody out there know where one could find VB 3 or VB 4 ?


    Thanks!

    Put a request out on EBay. Maybe someone has one of those version hanging out that they haven't tossed yet, and would be willing to sell for little or nothing.

    Now why did I think of that, Hack?

    Thanks. I guess I'll have to cut back on the stupid pills.

    E-bay is loaded with VB software and materials.

    Thanks again!

    Well if your going to get it legally, which I doubt, I think you can find it on Microsoft's Website.

    Don't know why u want to use Vb3, it sucks.

    I would kind of go along with Pc_Madness concerning VB3. If you need to write some 16bit code, I'd try for VB4, if at all possible (although Lords knows I wrote a ton of programs using VB3! )

    I've written code in VB3 to 6, and between 3 or 4, 4 is a lot better and has a nicer IDE. 4 also comes in a 32bit version (I know it doesn't apply here), and introduced support for OCXs (before that it was VBX files).

    Is there a big difference between Vb3 and 4? I've tried to do some stuff in Vb3, and half of the stuff I tried to do wouldn't work (wonder why). A really annoying thing about VB3 is that it doesn't have an Object Browser/or the thing that pops up when u do Control. So I have no idea what events each controls has.
