hi, i have program, which i want to convert to software, that is i want to put it into CD for the user, so that he can use it , how can i change it to software setup file, so as to download it in a CD.

Do i just have to save a file and upload it in a CD, cn user be able to use that program without having a VB software installed with him.

If your talking about a EXE or Executable program the on your file menu go to Project1.exe. Note that if you changed your project name it will be "File->(Your_project_name_here.exe)"

Its right under the print setup menu.

Have fun programming

It will depend on what system you want to run it of. If its just a standard VB6 exe running on Win2k/XP/Vista then they have Msvbvm60.dll installed as standard. If its Win9x/ME then you my need the VB6 RunTime files adding.

If your app uses additional ActiveX's then thats where the problems will start. If your burning this app to a CD then add all the necessary files on there with a text files giving the user what to copy over and where.

You could always make an installation package using Inno Setup.

I've been programming with VB for 15 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.
