VB apps

Post by WineTracker Software »

What is the expected compatibility of a VB6 executable project that makes use of:

- Jet database engine to access Microsoft Access database files
- several windows based (widely available) OCX and COMM files such as MSFLXGRD.OCX
- access the Windows Registry files
- activeX files
- some access to text files

Most of these things are fairly vanilla I would think, but just in case, I thought I would check in advance.

TIA

The more libraries the app uses, the more likely it is to run into a bug.
Try it and see, let us know how it goes.
Be sure to check http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ if you run into problems.
