I have an application that was written and is being maintained in VB6.

I am trying to send example programs to a friend who is a complete
beginner in another country. I have VB6 but they have VB5. Is there a
way to modify my programs so they will load under VB5?
Thanks,

It's been several years since I fooled around with VB5, but I've got the
programming bug again...
I'd like to place a flashing light or button in one of my database programs

I'm having trouble with a simple serial port hook up.  I have some
custom hardware that seems to work fine.  I use it with Hyperterm and
I can see what's happening.  When it starts up, it just spews some
characters to the serial port saying  "Hello, I'm awake".   It sends a
