Hi All,
I have by the looks of it a sticking plaster job to do on a VB project (head hangs in shame!) All I wanted was to look busy so I didn't get it but I got it. It appears that the project is in VS2013 which me luck, Away!!!

All ready happened! why did he use Vis Studio Express 2013 why, we only have VS2008 so I am trying to download the express edition he used. While trying to hack a copy of the solution to open in 2008... Cry | :((

Forget the solution file: create a new project, and add all his files one by one.
It's not worth trying to hand tune the SLN file...

You may get some errors if he has used .NET V4.5 features, but probably it's just a case of latest-is-best syndrome!

Well, that's the thing it is all ground hugging code that doesn't seem to be using any of the .NET features I can see...

Well just to update you (in case you were interested...) I have altered the form stuck it where the hard coded(?) path lives and run it, it works!!!

Good for you - all you have to do know it work out how, and fix it! Laugh | :laugh:

Don't joke, this project looks like the work of many soles, combo boxes cbmName, comboName, ComboBoxX, The value for quicent current not being used but cleared!, Matrix jpg scrolling with a timer...
got rid of the worst of it now have to work out where Iq is being stored (if its read...) Blush | :O

Good grief, the person doing this did not want any to reverse the process, I mean I have done some awful things but not like this...

Not really helped by the fact the test rig is down stairs, my PC (the one on which I'm editing the code) is upstairs...

I can tell you are not thinking of the bottom line, plus by the looks of that if I get a bit frisky with the throttle I will punch a whole in the roof!

You can probably (I say that because I'm not sure it's updated for VS2013 yet) get SharpDevelop and open it in that, they made it format-compatible a while back.
