For 3. I think the Visual Studio is free to use for schools and kids can download the express version (Install the whole Visual Studio framework first then the VB.net modules). We have the Microsoft Licencing website to download all our MS software from due to the licencing we have. I assume EQ schools have similar. http://visualbasic.about.com/od/learnvbnet/a/LVBE_L1.htm downloads from http://www.microsoft.com/express/

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. Rex 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 ... -----Original Message----- From: Graeme Summers Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 7:06 AM To: QSITE ICT Teachers Subject: Re: [qsiteict] Visual Basic 6.0 and Windows 7? 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rex Boggs" <[email protected]> To: "QSITE ICT Teachers" <[email protected]> Cc: "me" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 10:38 PM 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?
