That's good news for the virtually thousands (...most likely 100s of thousands) of lines of code I have in the language...and then of course there is Access, at its core is VB What is needed is a translator that will translate VB to other languages like .Net/JavaScript-HTML/PHP and so on as I find few companies can actually afford to have someone do a redesign of their various custom applications. One old client had calculated that their current main business application had cost them over a million dollar, in the twenty years that it was being built and supported. It is written in VB and rest assured, if possibly, it will be used for another twenty years. So if there are any bright young programmers out there, they could make an absolute fortune writing a decent translator.
