**Ninkoro**, you actually can't buy VB6 for an insane amount of money, because Microsoft not selling it any more.

Even if you have it, somehow, i think Microsoft said that VB6 is somesort illegal now? (May be wrong.)

So yeah. Either ask someone or download an illegal version.

He's referring to purchasing it from a different retailer. Such as Amazon:
[http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Professional-Edition/dp/B00002S7IA](http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Professional-Edition/dp/B00002S7IA)

VB6 isn't illegal, it's no longer supported.

I mean, it should be illegal in my opinion, just for being that bad.

Makes sense. I've been watching few tutorials about VB6, and guy in his video mentioned that VB6, even if considered to be bought from a retailer, counts as illegal.

Anyway, I'd say - get an illegal copy then. What's the point of buying a product, that is no longer supported by M$?

The above fixes:

Removed a call that prohibited compiling. As the bug was shown earlier in this thread.

Removed Rob's Command Box on client (He was documenting screen width.)

Removed a couple server auth login subs, left inside that caused compile errors.

Removed a server label (There is no more silver/gold license).

Removed all instances of ServerType variable. (modGeneral - InitServer stores (MAX) values as variables instead of constants?) - Did not bother to change these back to Constants.

LoadGUI needed a size fix in frmLoad.picLoad width and height.

There's nothing bad about VB6 at all. It's outdated and out-classed but it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. It was a largely accepted IDE for close to a decade. Don't confuse bad with being old.

Nothing has been said about VB6 being bad. But as I know, VB6 does not know definition "dynamic". If I'm not mistaken, M$'s office 2003 was written on VB6.

Each sheet with columns/rows is static. So if you create 50 sheets, no matter how powerful your PC will be, it'll become very laggy. Thus M$ rewrote their VB6 into vb.net which was mostly based on c#? Which means, that nowadays excels won't become laggy because of having lots of sheets, due to them being dynamic. (They exist only if they contain something unlike static in vb6, where they exist no matter if they contain something or not, thus bringing more load on ram).

Again, I might be a bit mistaken here and there. I'm only a newbie beginner programmer.
