i mean vb6 is pretty old anyway why not do a major update with the standard of what is currently used as opposed to depreciated syntax and language? BTW .net is merely a framework all he would need to change is the query code it wouldnt take much time at all

A change from VB6 to VB.net is more than a simple change in query code. VB.Net has pretty good support for some legacy VB6 syntax and functions but it is in no way a simple port.

Basically the problem is not the relearning of the new syntax, but the time required to port everything. I have purchased many tool code and those are not .net compat, and the time required for porting all the tools is beyond my scope. If someone attempt this then it would be appreciated, but there's somewhere over 20K lines of code there.

I'll look into how much .net costs and go from there. Perhaps Kayot can help there.

ill download the source and look at it far as i am aware it wont be very difficult to port it all that needs to change is the queries and im sorry sesmar ive actually done my editor that you helped me do in c# in vb6 and vb.net it was a VERY simple matter to port it from 6 to .net it was far simpler to do then it was getting the same editor to work in c#

Actually downloaded the free version of vb.net 08 from MS. I will install and give it a shot. If you get any tools to work then let me know.

use the 2005 stuff or youll probably get alot of errors because of the depreciation issues
