Making an exe file
in [Visual Basic]

From: M Wade on 12 May 2010 16:16 I am creating a personal program using VB6 and Windows 7. I have not used VB6 for a couple of months and this time after the program has been completed and tested under the IDE I went to create an exe file but the Make Exe file and the Make Project Group items are grayed out. I found some references on the web that suggested starting a new program with just a single form and command button. I did this but the Make exe and project group menu items remained grayed out. I am running the vb6 program as Administrator. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Marv

Right clicking the toolbar, selecting customizing and clicking on reset did it. Thanks |
