I have spent a furtune on VB4 and VB5 which are 300 dollars each. Yesterday
I went to open a vb3 file and it says it cannot open it because it is
binary. Does anyone know how I can translate this? Can anyone give me vb3?
I don't want to buy a stupid vb3 when it is outdated!!!

Hi Farshad:

I know you mentioned that you don't have VB3, but...
First you will have to use VB3 to save all the files "As Text".
Load your project in VB3, then use the "Save As" menu item to save each
file; selected the "Save As Text" checkbox when you give it a filename.

Then you should be able to open up the project in VB4; which in turn will
allow
you to save the project in VB4 format; which in turn will allow you to open
the
project in VB5 and save the project in VB4 format.  Just remember to keep a
copy of the project in VB3 and VB4 format if you will need it later.

Hope this helps,

Doug.

Farshad-
        If it's an important project, just ask someone
you trust to not steal your code to resave it for you.
Most larger Community Colleges and Universities
probably still have a copy of VB3 installed. I have VB3/4/5
installed on my system.

Doug,

If the file is saved as text in VB3, then it can be read directly into VB5.

You don't have to step through VB4 to get to VB5.
