Is this still available for download. All links on their site are gone
and all external links on download sites no longer work. I need this
urgently. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If it's urgent, you might want to look at

Thanks, there is no free version available but I gave the demo version a
try. I think my vb project might be too complex it didn't come out well
at all.

Looks like I will have to design the forms from scratch in RB and then
copy and paste the subs/functions from the vb project files across
individually. This is slow but it works.

One question -
How do you insert an API call? It normally sits at the top of a module
in VB but this isn't possible in RB.

eg:

Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As
POINTAPI) As Long

Declare it in every method where you want to use it
or
Wrap it in a method
or
In a module, right-click on the left pane and select
Add to Module
| External Method

Thanks, I didn't know there was a right click menu in the left pane.
That certainly opens up some possibilities (How to create an Enum was my
next question).

I added the external method and filled in the boxes.
Directly above the boxes it created a string exactly the same as the VB
call so I think it's right. I need to do the rest of the module to test
it. Thanks you've been very helpful.
