Hi,
first you should bring the project to the latest version of VisAM Win32 (9.5.4) and check, if it is still running properly which it should in most cases.
If you want to bring it up to date with the latest VBASE version, proceed as following:
Export the 9.5.4 version of the project and import it into the latest VBASE version and correct any errors that occur when you try to run the project (mostly by replacing deprecated .Net functions, database connection must be reworked, variables must be declared properly, etc.). If the project only consist of data display, those simple project can be run 1:1 in VBASE without changes in most cases.
Be advised that upgrading from VisAM Win32 to VBASE you must purchase a licence upgrade to be able to run the project outside of the 1 hour test period.

Hey zusammen,
bin gerade zufällig auf diesen Thread gestoßen – echt spannend zu lesen, wie ihr mit den alten VISAM-Versionen umgeht. Ich hab auch noch ein älteres Projekt rumliegen (glaub sogar noch V8), hab mich aber bisher nie getraut, es in VBASE zu importieren ?
