Is it possible to load the original code into a newer version of VB? If this is possible which version of VB should I buy. There seems to be a bewildering number of options available and I would like advice in order to ensure I buy the appropriate one.

A VB3 .mak project can be loaded into VB5/6 on condition that you save the original VB3 forms as text files (.frm) and graphic files (.frx)
Obviously, all the 16-bit API calls, if present, must be converted into Win32.
By the way, VB3 executables are still fully compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows, as far as I know. |
