Hi all, I have just installed VB 2005 express after not having used VB for some years. I have a number of older projects that I would like to update, preferably without rebuilding from scratch. Is it possible to do this in VB 2005 from VB4.0 project files etc
Is it possible to upgrade vb4.0 apps to vb2005?

Will VB6 update VB4 projects
I too have some old VB4 that VB2005 doesn't like ("invalid VB6" or somesuch message). I can download VB6, but would rather know if I should bother, if its likely to work first.

Chances are small that it will just "work". You are going to have to do some work.

Well there's a little bit of a crazy way IF you have VB6 and IF VB6 will update VB4. Under VB6 you can get you vb4 program to where it is workable and once it is, use vb2005 to update the VB6 project.
If you're going to do this, I'd really recommend turning OPRION EXPLICIT on and declaring all your variables in VB6. That will make the conversion to vs2005 much saner - if this is at all sane to begin with.
