To demonstrate some important VB problems I made a few VB test apps. Those test apps are located at http://www.xs4all.nl/~sailsup/wine-vb.tar.gz The package contains some database applications using various MS database implementations (DAO, ADO), two simple tests. Next to this the package

Hi all, I keep encountering people mentioning that VB stuff has lotsa problems on Wine. While I really can't say that I like VB, a lot of people seem to use it for critical tasks in companies on a daily basis, so it sounds like perfect VB compatibility would be utterly important. IMHO improving

Make sense. How about this: let's add a visual basic regression test suite to Wine. I'm not kidding! Ought to be pretty easy to hit at least the non-gui parts... I think this is a great idea. It will be a bit challenging - my understanding is that most VB apps that people want to use in
