Re: Hi all. Looking for the vb people...

Thanks Paul. Are you on that group? I already have a simple question: When I
start a new project (in VB5 or VB6) it is always called project1 whatever I
do. But I want to leave project1 intact and not overwrite it. I want to have
a completely new name. How do I get project2 etc?

Yes, both versions will function under XP. Apps will run under Vista.

There is a lot of information available about Visual Basic 6.0 but I
expect that over time even
peer-level support will continue to dwindle and web sites supporting
Classic VB will continue to
disappear. In addition, no new features are being added to the product, so
anything new will be
limited to the third-party venue.
