How to get the older visual basic

i thought the only difference was the pro version had a compiler :confused:

VB5 : Control Creation Edition has no compiler.

The other versions differ as such ...

Visual Basic 5 comes in three flavours: the Standard or Learning edition, the Professional edition and the Enterprise edition. The Professional edition contains everything in the Learning edition plus additional ActiveX controls including Internet controls and Crystal Report Writer. The Enterprise edition contains everything in the Professional edition plus the Automation Manager, the Component Manager, database management tools and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe project orientated version control system. It should be noted that Visual Basic 5 is a 32-bit only program and will not run in Windows 3.1. It will only run in Windows 95 and Windows NT or greater.

It appears that the debugging stuff is the same throughout. My mistake.
Even in VS2008 the Standard and Pro versions are almost identical as far as I can tell.

I remember when I was in 6th grade you could find free copies of VB3pro all over the place. 16bit apps. those were the days.
