Does anyone have experience of recoding a VB6 project into Rev? Is it a question of starting from scratch or are there some shortcuts that people can recommend?
Thanks for any help.

Tips on translating from VB6
Tony,
I've done a little VB6 & alot of VBA programming and Rev is a totally different animal. I'm afraid it's gonna be starting from scratch.
The thing that confused me the most was that there is no way to pick 'Event handlers' for controls - you need to look them up in the dictionary!
Best Regards
Chris

Some of the basics is that VB6 mostly relies on variable setting in such a way as the example below:
TextField1.text = "Test"
Where as, if you are going to set TextField1's content to "Test" using Transcript programming, you would use a much different code like below:
put "Test" into field "TextField1"
As far as I know, that's pretty much how it works...
