I am considering converting a VB 3.0 application to VB 4.0 but I need
to know the issues associated with converting. What are the problems
with converting? What kind of things should I look out for when
converting. If I am using third party .vbx do I need to upgrade them?
I need to know all the problems associated with converting. Any help
and advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

VBX's are only used in 16 bit VB 4. If you use VB4 32 bit you'll have
to replace them with 32 bit OCX's. Unless you get OCX's guaranteed to
match w/ the VBX, you may have to do some significant recoding.

Apex (www.apex.com) has 3 things that maybe of interest to you that are free
for the downloading. A comprehensive word document detailing converting from
VB3->4, a utility program that will analyze an existing VB3 project and create
a VB4 project (in a new directory) with any changes necessary to your code
(particularly function calls)... I have used this utility on all of my VB3
projects to learn that no code changes were necessary. Last, they have an
improved grid control(ocx) over that which comes with VB4. I believe this to
be the sucessor to TrueGrid.vbx.

The site is actually www.apexsc.com.

I do not find the conversion details nor program there...are you sure?
If so, where is it?

They do have an update to truegrid.

The biggest problem is the speed of VB4.0.... I have here 2
applications running well with VB3.0, but same applications does not
run with VB4.0. I have try to keep the old vbx, to upgrade to ocx16
and ocx32....Always same result..VB4.0 is definitively to slow !
Those applications use COM port and a lot of mathematics functrions.

Friendly.
