VB6 program maker????

[[UK]DayWalker]

I have the book "An introduction to ptogramming using VB6", and with it came a CD, which is good.

The only problem is, it doesn't have a program maker to make stand alone programs....

The scripts only work within the VB6 environment...

Any ideas???

Short of buying VB 6, you cant do much. I don't believe there is any standalone VB 6 compilers. Wouldnt' make a whole lot of sense, since you're working with forms, etc.

If I was you, I'd pick something else to write and compile your program in. If you want a GUI program, give Java a try and make an applet that runs in a web page. Or try C++. The book "C++ Weekend Crash Course" is a good one that I'm reading right now. The compiler/C++ editor that comes with it is OK. But that's mainly for DOS programs.

RapidQ is simple...basically combines VB's GUI and QBASIC's simplicity...almost a full complete programming language. Can be found at : http://www.basicguru.com/rapidq/.

Has tutorials, examples, FAQ's. Everything needed.
