Built a VB6 Studio Web: a browser-native IDE, VB-style source runtime, form designer, browser control library, debugger, and single-file HTML application exporter. Imagine you can build any app in RAD IDE using real VB6 and then just download single page static HTML app.

Have you looked at Xojo? It marketed itself as the VB6 replacement (after .NET came along).

Can you link it to a database ? And host it on a website?

Wiesław Šoltés's profile picture

Great idea, you can build standalone html so you can host easily.

THIS is so incredible. Is there any way to pull data from a restful api into a dataset?

You'll have the world beating a path to your door. Being able to get old VB6 apps running on the web pulling data from a webapi to display data is gamechanging.
