Windows 10: VB6 and Run time error 9

All the sudden when I try to add data in a program the error 9 will come up, but the data is still installed. When you hit enter the data will install, then the program will be ended.


When I run the program in a VB6 program it works OK.


This program worked great for 10 years then all the sudden in Win 7 this started. I'm now using Win 10 with the same thing is happening.


Can someone help

:)

 

VB6 or VB.Net?

This describes some of the many differences between VB6 and VB.NET. Much of the current VB6 code base will not run under VB.NET due to changes in VB.NET's syntax and language, its use of the new common runtime, and its switch to WinForms from the VB6 form model.

Visual Basic.NET includes an upgrade tool to assist in converting VB6 projects to .NET. The tool adds an upgrade report to your project listing any problems and inserts comments into your code and To Do items into the new Task List indicating where additional changes need to be made.

However, understanding the following changes can help simplify migrating your existing VB6 code. For further information on this topic, visit Microsoft's web site.

Run-time Error 8020 - Comm Port Error with VB6 App Isolated to Win 10

We are experiencing run-time error 8020 Comm Port Error using a PIC18F14K50 USB Module to a VB6 application isolated to Win 10 OS Home (did not test other Win 10 versions) and not networked.

Driver versions 5.1.2600.2 and 5.1.26009 work with above USB module and VB6 application on Win XP, 7 and 8.1, but again not on Win 10. The Microchip PIC USB module using these drivers on Win 10 "does" work with non-VB6 applications. Note, above VB6 application
works on Win 10 PC with Keyspan USB module and its driver.

This run-time error has occurred on every PC tested thus far, potentially in the dozens, hence the isolated Win 10 bug claim.

This issue is critical to our business as our clients aren't able to use our product on Win 10 forcing us to purchase and install older Windows for compatibility.

 

VB6 on Win10

Hello All,

I have an EXE which was written in VB6 edition. It uses a "Comm Port" and lists all the available COMM ports of the system in a drop down. This EXE works well on Win7 and Win8.

But, when we use this EXE (developed in VB6) on Win10 OS, then dropdown containing the list of COMM ports is empty (even if the computer has few COMM ports available).

We have another EXE developed in VB2010 edition. This EXE lists all the COMM ports in a dropdown on: Win7, Win8 and Win10.

But, an EXE developed in VB6 doesn't work on Win10.

My expectation:

1. Can we "somehow" make an EXE (written in VB6) to list all available COMM ports on Win10 OS?

2. If above is not possible, then what is an alternate solution for it?
