What version of VB is this?
If it's VB 2005 Express Edition, which is a free download, maybe (I don't know) this is one of the things which is disabled to make it the "express" edition. -

If you are using Visual Studio 2005 you dont need to put it into an exe file. When it debugs it has to save the file somewhere so it can run. (Well i think it has to) So i found out where it saves it to.
If you open the project file.
You will now see a folder with the same name as your project and a .sln file the same name as you project. Open the folder.
You will find a folder called bin then another folder called debug
open debug.
You will then see yourproject.exe you can copy and paste it or watever.
This is the path location for my computer
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\ My Documents\Visua l Studio 2005\Projects\Y ourproject\Your project\bin\Deb ug\YourProject. exe
Hope this helps

ps Killer i decided to start chiping in for all the help u gave meComment

It freeze's when at the Compiling section... Everything freeze's... Wont move and wont do a thing..
BTW it's Visual Basic 6 not Visual Studio 2005 just to reply at the same time to Mague, thanx anyways....

In VB6, wow that brings back memories, you don't SAVE AS .EXE as long as you have the appropriate version (i.e. not Learning Edition) Click File -> Make EXE File. Then If I remeber correctly it promtps you for a Name and path for your new .EXE file
In Visual Studio versions that use .NET, It was correctly stated where the .EXE file is in the folder where your project is saved. However there is not just one, there are two!!! one in the debug folder, adn one in the release folder, both are in bin folder. I do believe you have to compile in borth DEBUG and RELEASE to get the both EXE's created. For those of us who are not familiar with changeing the compile type it is done click Build -> Configuration Manager then a dialog will appear and simply change the Active Solution Configuration.
Hope this information is helpful. Happy Coding!Comment

I know it's an old version of VB but the thing is i'm an old person... I started learning Basic with QBasic in Dos... If you know what DOS is..lol.. Just teasing you...Originally posted by cyberdaemon
Thank you, i found out why i had problem compiling my file into an executable file... I had to many lines and i just removed about 500 lines from my program into 3 .... lol... Been a while since i used VB..... The first version of VB i used was VB4 when i started my Diploma in 1993.... So that should tell you how old i am right now...
Anyways, thank you, your information did help me at the same time...
I worked toooooooo hard for those 500 lines but with some other help files on this site, I croped 500 lines.. That was too cool to remember how to do it...
Now here is another problem i have.. Or should i create a new message??
Anyways..
---------------------------------------------------------
Randomize Timer
For i = 1 To 100 Step 1
a = Rnd() * 10 + 10
Me.Controls("te xt" & CStr(i)).Text = Me.Controls("te xt" & CStr(a)).Text
Next i
-----------------------------------------------------
I would like the random to be into a new form.. Exemple.. Form2...
I tried this
Randomize Timer
For i = 1 To 100 Step 1
a = Rnd() * 10 + 10
Me.Controls("te xt" & CStr(i)).Text = form2.Me.Controls("te xt" & CStr(a)).Text
But it didn't work, am i putting it at the right place or should i place it somewhere else??
Thank you for answering.
