Visual Basic, Compiling to run on Windows 3.1 (newbie question)

Compiling to run on Windows 3.1 (newbie question)

Author	Message
PeaceD #1 / 5	Compiling to run on Windows 3.1 (newbie question) I am very new to Visual Basic (less than 1 week). I wrote a very simple program that a user inputs numbers. The calculated output is then displayed. This program does something like converting 'inches' to 'centimeters', etc. I have Visual Basic 5.0 Pro running on Windows 95. When I tried to run the compiled .EXE on a Windows 3.1 machine, it gave a error something like "cannot run in DOS mode". What do I need to do so I can run it on Windows 3.1? Copy specific .DLLs? Compile it differently? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Bill McCart #2 / 5	Compiling to run on Windows 3.1 (newbie question) You can't. VB5 is 32 bit only. You need VB4 or below. Quote: > I am very new to Visual Basic (less than 1 week).

jame #5 / 5	Compiling to run on Windows 3.1 (newbie question) Just in case your not clear on what the previous posts mean by VB5 being 32bit only, Win 3.1 is a 16bit program and will not run 32bit software. james Quote: > > I am very new to Visual Basic (less than 1 week).
