VB3 to VB6- Code Conversion

Hi all,
I have a VB3 source code in ASCII that needs to be converted to VB6.
Have tried with 'upgrwzrd' tool but it failed. Is there any other way to fulfill the need?

What do you mean by failed? Did you get any error messages?

Remember to upgrade 3rd Party VBX controls you must have corresponding 32-bit ActiveX controls installed on your machine.

Yes the tool is not able to upgrade the VB3 VBX controls to 32-bit OCX controls. As you say I should have OCX equivalents of VBX. Anyways, I tried opening the VB3 .MAK with VB6. I am able to run the code in VB6. For now, the problem is solved but can i know if there is any standard way to convert VB3 to VB6?

Other than the 'upgrwzrd' I'm afraid the only other method is manually copying and pasting the code. Like I said I don't know what errors, if any, you encountered so it's a bit difficult to troubleshoot or provide an alternative means of conversion.

Before loading the VB3 project to VB6 IDE,i came across an error msg which said that there are no 32-bit controls for the listed VBX controls since they are custom controls. As mentioned by 'pclement', if the controls are from 3rd party, then equivalent 32-bit controls should be installed for proper conversion.
