What we see with Visual Basic 6
Desktop applications written in Visual Basic 6 that a business still depends on.
Typical situations:
- A desktop program that only runs on one old computer.
- ActiveX components with no installer anywhere.
- Reports and data that live inside the application.
What we do
- Start with a read-only look at the application, the data and the machine it runs on.
- Protect the data and the installers, and document how it works.
- Discuss, in writing, whether to keep it running or plan a replacement.
What this includes
VB6 desktop applications, ActiveX controls, Access and SQL databases, installers and reports.
By arrangement
Visual Basic 6 is supported by arrangement. We start with a Takeover Assessment to see what you have and what is feasible. For this stack we may bring in a specialist for part of the work, and we say so in the written scope and the quote before anything begins. We will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
Every engagement starts read-only. We write write-access terms into a signed agreement first, and a person reviews every change before it reaches a live system. Our work is AI-assisted and human-reviewed, and we tell you how at the start.
Tell us about your Visual Basic 6 software and we will reply by email with what we would look at first.
