    Well yeah, but Vs2015 does not work on XP. Only the runtime for 2015 does. And 2010 is removed from Microsoft's site. Soooo what now? I'm kinda lost here unless I buy an old copy or something I think, right?

        I guess you're right. :/ But Visual _____ is MSDN and that is expensive as hell as far as I remember, + can I use it on Windows XP? All my PC's run it cause of SafeDisc bullsh*t that MS removed from All current versions. I'd really like to try VB.NET out seen that I have experience in QuickBASIC (all versions) and VB6, so piece of cake.

        SafeDisk? That wasn't a Microsoft product at all. That was bullshit copy protection by Macrovision, IIRC. XP isn't even supported any more. What are you hanging onto and why?

          I'm a retro person, so SafeDisc is required for all of my games to run. That's why. + my recent software that I made in VB6 runs only on NT4,Win2k and XP. Soooo yeah. Most of my programs that I use on a day-to-day basis are also extremely buggy on Vista and above.

              He writes MSDOS stuff too, so he's a 16 bit person!

                You're going to find that your very unsupported world is shrinking as there are less and less people in your community still supporting it. The most active people here actively discourage using VB6. Though there are still a few other people who still use it they don't show up very often at all.

                  Look for yourself! QuickBASIC Stuff[^] (almost) All software is written by me. I started in 2012, and ended my QBASIC programming last year. From there I used VB6 to create the SniperOS complication software for XP, NT4 and 2K. RetroHeaven Index[^] is my main site especially for Internet Explorer 6. a>[QuinSoft] is my main site. So yeah, less and less people understand my knowledge, I know that. Makes me feel so special ;) "An unsupported 32 bit person in a 64 bit environment." - Eddy Vluggen All I can say is one thing. WoW! (Who understands the pin?) "He writes MSDOS stuff too, so he's a 16 bit person!" - Chris Quinn Damn right I am :-D (And yes, i did not use that quote thingy to respond, too lazy haha)

                    How would you suppose that we can answer that? How could complete strangers on the internet know if something is possible for you to do or not? Sure, if you apply yourself, learn programming, and study, study, study you can probably do just about anything. But for us to tell you that you can sit down and bang this out in the next month? No, we can't tell you any such thing because we don't know you, your skill set or why on earth you would want to use an outdated ancient dead programming language like VB6 to begin with.

                    I believe OP is simply asking if it can be done using VB6.

                    There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                        Yes, you're taking it way too literal. :doh:
