I transfer my VB6 projects between home, (where I am on XP), and work, (where I was on Windows 98, now Windows NT), have have not yet had a compatability problem.

It would appear that there are no problems in transferring VB6 programs from one Windows system to another.

VB6 is VB6 regardless of the operating system.

But if you choose to upgade to VB.net for application design or receive a VB.net built application, you need to download a service pack from MS to allow it to run on a VB6 machine.



Remember...

my VB6 seems to run better on XP... Home and Pro...

You also have a lot more options in windows api calls you can use via VB in XP...

Such as alpha-blending and other XP functions...

Just watch out when programming for XP...
If your program needs to be backwards compatible as far as windows is concerned... Like any other programming language... make sure to check the compatibility of the controls and api calls...

Good Luck
