VB4 16-bit vs 32-bit

Author	Message
Bill L #1 / 6	VB4 16-bit vs 32-bit We're currently using WFW 3.11 on our client machines and are about to develop a couple of major applications using VB4. The main reasons for using VB4 are the ability to create classes and 3-tier designs. We plan to have the middle tier on NT servers. The question for us now is whether to incur the additional expenses of upgrading to a 32-bit OS from WFW today. This, for us, comes down to the pros and cons of running either VB4's 16-bit or 32-bit. Will anyone be able to give us some of their valuable experiences of using these 2 products? Thanks, Bill

You may already know this, but for the development platform itself, you have to have a 32 bit OS (Win95 or NT.) As far as the 16 bit applications that you develop, they seem to work fine in my limited experience. I'm not installing anything in a WFWG network, but I am using 16 bit applications accessing a database on a Novell 3.11 server from workstations that have WFWG installed on them. It seems to work fine (so far, anyway.)

As far as the 16 bit VB4/16 runs fine under 16-bit Windows.

Bill L #5 / 6	VB4 16-bit vs 32-bit Base on the replies, it seems that there is no problem using VB4 16-bit. By doing so, will I loose any capabilities? I know that RDO is only available with 32-bit. Also, if I build a 32-bit OLE server on an NT, will there be any limitations for me to use it with a VB4 16-bit client application? Thanks for the feedbacks, Bill

I haven't tried it myself, but the only stipulation I can see is that the server needs to be 32 bit. Of course you need to register the server on the client and run the automation manager on the server. I haven't heard how hard this is. I would be interested in this information also. Thanks.
