A few questions.
1. Graeme, asking as a died-in-the-wool fossil who may be retiring within a year or two, how much
different is VB Express compared to VB6? In other words, how much learning is needed to get up to
speed with Express?
2. Graeme, the current version of VB Express is the 2010 version. How compatible is that with
your VB Express textbook?
3. Anyone - presumably VB Express is free for schools, as well. Correct? If so, how does the
techie access it and install it across the network, legally? Download one copy, register it, and
put that one copy across the network? Or is it trickier than that?
4. An unrelated question - is there a one-to-one correspondence between members of the email list
and the Edna forum? Do I reach the same people either way?
TIA for any replies.

PS I'm still hoping there is a magic way to get VB6 to work on my Windows 7 64-bit Professional
and on our school laptop, as I have 10 years of resources I have developed for it. So far no one
has said 'impossible' so I am still hoping ...

Rex,
You really are one of the VB6 survivors, but I'm sure you'd love VB Express.
One of the major advantages, from an educational view, is that the kids can
download it for free on their home computers.
regards,
Graeme

Subject: [qsiteict] Visual Basic 6.0 and Windows 7?
I have just tried to install my trusty (well it was trusty) version of Visual Basic 6.0 onto my
home computer (Windows 7 64-bit OS) and was told that it was not compatible. I then tried to
install it on my Education Queensland C4T laptop (Windows 7 Enterprise Edition), and was
unsuccessful there as well.
We have Windows 7 on on the school computers (not sure of the version), so I am getting a bit
worried.
Are any schools using Visual Basic 6.0 on a network with a Windows 7 operating system? If so,
any problems? If so, any solutions?
Cheers
Rex
