here is a fairly foolproof way, that we used:
- load the .MAK file into VB 4 32-bit Version. This will automatically convert all references to VBXs to 32-Bit OCXs (hopefully you did not use third-party controls or have their 32 bit equivalents correctly installed).
- change all your API calls (such as GetPrivateProfileString) to their 32 bit equivalents
- test and save the project file (VBP)
- load it into VB 5 and compile it.
- you should have a vb5-based program.
- there are a lot of other things to take into considerations, such as choosing another database API (ADO instead of DAO...).
