$25-50 AUD / hour

'm trying to find someone who has good VB experience to help my friend who runs a retail business in Camberwell, Mellbourne, Australia. We are using a legacy VB retail / POS system custom-developed some 15 or so years ago. We do not have the source code for the system which currently is running on a Windows 7 platform. and the original developer is uncontactable (gone OS). We basically need someone to look at the VB application and find a way to migrate it to a more current platform - whether this could be a more current version of VB or something else, running on a current / supported Windows version. I'm looking for someone on behallf of my friend as he is not very IT-literate. I am a retired IT guy (last job was 17 years with HP) so hopefully I can tell you all you need to know about the job. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to back up the current system and restore it onto a windows 10 platform however it won't run (presumably missing a driver or some VB executable) - When I run the executable I get a VB error: Run time Error 3706: Provider cannot be found. It may not be installed properly

Hello, my name is Tim and I am a c# software developer, I can come out to your location and take a look at the software with you (depending on location) for a one off consultation fee of $250 dollars, though since as you say 'We do not have the source code for the system' its likely that a new system will have to be developed from scratch please note however that this is not the cost of replacing or upgrading the existing software. this is simply to assess your system and your requirements, I'll have to issues you a quote later on regarding the full scope of the project based on the initial consultation. please let me know if this sounds agreeable Kind Regards Tim

My name is Albert and I wanted to express my interest in this project and offer my expertise to help you and your friend with this crucial task. With over 20 years of experience in VB6 application development and legacy system migration, I have successfully assisted several projects in similar endeavors. Here's how I can assist you: Assessment: I'm more than willing to provide a complimentary assessment of your current VB6 application. This will help identify any potential challenges and outline the best migration strategy. Migration Expertise: I have a proven track record of migrating VB6 applications to different versions of Windows, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. The error you mentioned, "Run time Error 3706: Provider cannot be found," is a common issue during migrations. the most likely cause of this error is something to do with accessing data sources. To get started, I propose a free initial assessment of your VB6 application. During this assessment, I will delve into the application's architecture, dependencies, and specific migration requirements. This will provide a clear roadmap for the project, allowing us to estimate the scope and timeline accurately. Once the assessment is complete, I will provide you with a comprehensive plan and cost estimate. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for considering my proposal. Best regards, Albert
