I phoned back Microsoft and although they had a record of my call they
conveniently didn't record any details (or so they said) about the
conversation and consequently are now saying I can't do what I want! :( I
know for a fact what conversation took place and I double checked what was
said so there was definately no misunderstanding but now it's my problem it
seems.
Now I'm told I can downgrade my licence to VB6. The problem is finding VB6
media. The US Microsoft site states that the media is available from them
and for other countries contact your local Microsoft subsidiary. Microsoft
UK will not sell me the media kit and tell me to ask the authorised
resellers but none of which have heard of it. So it seems I'm basically up
the creek Thanks Microsoft!

I was trying to get hold of VB6 to write plugins for an application which
has this as a requirement for their interface (I guess because it's
written in VB). I couldn't find a new one anywhere so I asked Microsoft (UK) where
I could get it. They told me I could use VB.Net for non .Net applications as
in VB6. I was told there was an option for this. I doubled checked this as
I wasn't expecting that answer, explaining what I wanted to do. Don't worry
about VB6, go for .Net. So I did.
However, having now got the product I can see no such option. Trying to
load a VB6 project it wants to convert it to .Net which is of no use to me.
Have I been seriously misled here or is there some way of dealing with VB6
applications without any .Net features?
Thanks for any help...
