This tag is for questions about migrating existing applications, or legacy code, from <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=vb6&sort=info&pagesize=50">Visual Basic 6</a> to a more modern platform. Unfortunately migration is usually a tricky task. The most common target platforms are <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=vb.net&sort=info&pagesize=50">VB.Net</a> and <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=c%23&sort=info&pagesize=50">C#</a>. Here are some typical motives for migration <ul> <li>To use a more modern programming language for enhancements. <ul> <li>This will give some increase in productivity. </li> <li>This also keeps the developers happy, which is a valid business benefit in itself. There are <a href="http://forums.construx.com/blogs/stevemcc/archive/2008/03/27/productivity-variations-among-software-developers-and-teams-the-origin-of-quot-10x-quot.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bigger gains in productivity</a> from attracting and retaining <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">good developers</a> than anything else. </li> </ul></li> <li>To use a fully supported programming stack. <ul> <li>Although the VB6 runtime is still <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">fully supported</a> by Microsoft as part of Windows, many people worry that support will be dropped one day. The VB6 IDE is no longer supported. </li> </ul></li> </ul> Frequently asked questions <ul> <li>What is the best strategy for migration? There are a range of different opinions, as can be seen from the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=vb-migration&sort=votes&pagesize=50">questions tagged <code>vb-migration</code></a>! For what it's worth, here is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dd408373.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft UK page with their advice</a>. </li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/507291/should-we-select-vb-net-or-c-when-upgrading-our-legacy-apps">Should we select VB.Net or C#?</a> </li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3319561/risks-around-relying-on-vb6-applications">What are the risks around continuing to rely on VB6 applications?</a> </li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/400479/vb6-lives-forever-like-cobol">Will VB6 live forever like COBOL?</a></li> </ul>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
