 Open Visual Basic .frm Without Vb Installed |
 Oct 2 2015, 09:49 AM Post#1 | |
Posts: 1,099 Joined: 16-June 05  | I have been given sample VB code. I have the .frm, .vbp, vbw etc files But I don't have a copy of VB6! I want to view the VB code and use it in an Access database. How can I view the code without VB installed? Many thanks |

Since you're not working with Visual Basic, you're going to have to do more of the legwork, I'm afraid. The .FRM file will have the details about that command button's details, like it's .Top and .Left and caption. Hope this helps, Dennis |
