Lets just say I read the subject line, opened the message, and...well, I'll just summarize it as "surpassing my expectations".
I am not proud of this. I simply state it here as a warning to others, that should they go the way of the 6th of VB, they will then understand the shame that goes along with such actions.

Speak ye not to the grayed wizard of Up, for he shall lead thee to certain doom. Rewrite ye thine code unto the sea of sharp, using thine own two hands, and thou shalt be saved.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Nay, the existence of such a bug wouldst suggest the vessel to be otherwise. Contemplate thou the very meaning of such, and thou shalt find the creature itself to be thine bug. Bring down thine the power of the sharpened sea, and smite the insect! Ok... I can't do this anymore... It gives me nightmares about a religious upbringing I didn't even have :) So... Minimum patch to fix the bug, then scrap the damn thing and build one that works. I did that ten years ago at my first hedge fund job... Of course, it shut down before I could decommission the old version...

And how are you planning to compile it. Some of the old VB6 code we have will only run when compiled on an old XP computer rather than anything newer. (it will compile on 7, but not run properly) I have to keep a XP virtual machine just for the task.. (I'm hoping to have got rid of all VB6 programs in the next 12 months.. Yipee)
