I am interested in purchasing the whole works of VB5 Professional Edition package and has anyone any ideas as to where there still remains?

If you go ahead and buy the Visual Studio 6, you can get it for the same price of 2 tools, which would pretty much serve you better if you have room to advance, VB6 isnt very much different, I assume you would like 5 because it would possibly be less expensive to obtain, but check out how much it would be to get the whole studio, since its a better price than getting 2 tools indivisually<br><br>( I belive its cheaper mainly cause all the tools are put onto 2 CDs, and not over 7 CDs if you were to buy each tools indivisually ) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
