darkblade986 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok, so here's what I'm doing. For another forum I go to that revolves around a TCG, someone made a suggestion of a Random Deck Generator. I've taken up this project, and it's going smoothly. However here's what I need to know... When the project is finished, I need to have the file converted into an [Caution: ExecutableFile] or something that can be downloaded and run by other people without Visual Basic. What I need to know is how do I do this? I did it before in a computer class, however I don't remember how to. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I haven't used VB in ages but isn't it an option under the "File" drop down menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblade986 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 No, it's not there... If it makes any difference, I'm using VB 6.0 don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Sorry about that... I haven't used VB since 5.0 was the newest version, and I'm sure it was an option then. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 You haven't said what version you're using. Look under the project menu. There is likely an option there called 'build' or something similar. It might be different for different versions. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Quote from the disc, the program is "Working Model Visual Bsic 6.0 and Student Data Files for use with Programming in Visual Basic 6.0". Essentially this was a tutor disc, but it still has the full version... don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblade986 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok, quick little update here. I managed to find what command I'm supposed to use to make the project a [Caution: ExecutableFile] file, only problem is that it won't let me use that command. I don't know if it has to do with the version of Visual Basic I'm using or if there's something I'm supposed to do with the project first, although I have a gut feeling it's the first... don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltm4carbine Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 From my memory it should be under "build" or "compile" as far as I know. But I haven't touched VB since my last format (2 years ago or longer). After that try looking for it on the desktop or in your documents. A stupid question but have you saved all the project?

darkblade986 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's one form that I need to do, and I was looking in a book I have, "Programming in Visual Basic 6.0," and it was talking about "Make... [Caution: ExecutableFile]," so I know I have the right function. There is no Build option, and I can only do Compile after I've reached the dialog that the Make command brings up... don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmms Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 in the file option go down and under print setup there should be "make *[Caution: Executable File]" *= what ever your project is named click that and pick the name you wont and your done Aefx(started 11/1/2002) Cb: 200 TS: 1900+Bmms--Jr(Started on 1/24/06)(Banned 11/13/09 ) Cb: 119(pre-eoc) TS: 1700+Bmms(Started 8/?/2001)(Banned 1/24/06 ) Cb: 101(pre-eoc) TS: 1350+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't click it, and I'm trying to figure out if it's because I'm using a tutor-style version of the program or if there's something I need to do before I can use that option. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The thing I suggested earlier about building was only relevant to VS2003 onwards, I hadn't noticed where you said what you were using. That is indeed the option you want, and it is possible that the fact it's a student version is why it won't compile. Still, I am surprised that you are being taught such an old version of VB. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It is most likely because it's a tutor version. There were a lot of restrictions on the VB 6 software we used my senior year in high school. One of those restrictions was being able to compile to exe's. All we were allowed to do was run them through the IDE as a "test" but couldn't export anything beyond that. It may be different with your copy but that's my experience with school/tutor versions. :?

zonda Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 We had the same problem at our school - whenever we would try to build it, it would give us a bunch of errors about some restriction BS. The admins had to jury rig something, but our EXE's were automatically made when we built/compile, it would just be in the projects folder. ...
