Hi Inthane:If that's the case he has a problem. My guess he will have to remove the 2008 modules, and then load up some version of 2005. I remember he also was messing with the DataBases so that might be problematic as well depending on which version he ended up using. The last thing I can think of is that he uses Access DataBases instead of the Sql Server DataBases as defined in his Projects and that might cause problems for his Instructor as well if he is not familiar with their setup and use. My guess the only way he is going to get it working is to work directly with his Instructor to match up the versions of everything if he is to just send him a Project to load up and review per the original Course and Project requirements. I don't think I have any answers except to find out what his Instructor recommends. Sounds like he will have to uninstall everything 2008 including the DataBase systems. Then install everything that came with the original course and ReWrite his applications using the correct languages and DataBases if he wants to be in sync with the rest of the class. Other than that I wouldn't recommend doing all that removing and ReInstallation as it might cause some real headaches if not done in the correct order.

I think, if I have it straight, that his instructor is using VB 2005, and can't open the files he is making in 2008, backwards compatibility is alright in general with MS, but the reverse usually doesn't work, and I do not believe MS has made anything akin to the "MSO Viewers" that enable folks to open and save a newer version of say a word document in an older format so someone with the older office versions can use it.regards, the elf----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricks Place" <OFBGMail@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 12:22 AM Subject: Re: visual basic dot net 2005 esxpressMarv:Before you attempt Downloading 2005 over 2008. What was the explicit problem you could not resolve in 2008?Were you having the problem in VWD or in Vb.net Winforms?What statement was giving you the error which your instructor said was due to the language version problem? I really do not think the language version would cause you any problems unless you are copying and pasting code into a config file. So, tell me what statement is not working so I can check it out.Rick USA----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Perry" <whistler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 9:50 PM Subject: RE: visual basic dot net 2005 esxpressThen he is doing something really weird. The fact is I have moved lots of programs over from things I have ben playing with now that I have 2008 andnothing has had problems.

They should work fine in 2008. There is not that big a language wise in VB .net 2005 and 2008. The errors your havingare most likely typing errors.
