_I am trying to edit the code in `form_foo.frm`. I changed lines 123 and
456, and then installed mapbook, but my changes are not there. Am I doing
something wrong?_
You can not alter the Map Book coding with VBA. You must have VB6 to make
any changes. Once you make the changes, you'll then need to recompile and
reinstall Map Book.

+This is a little difficult because Microsoft no longer sells or supports
VB6, but not impossible.

Ebay]
regularily has _Visual Basic 6_ and _Visual Studio 6_ CDs on sale and
auction. The buy-now prices range from ~$150-$350 (yes that much!). If the
price is significantly less, read the description carefully to make sure
the edition offered is not a learning-only version which has compile
disabled. It may also be a good idea to make sure it has not been
previously registered.

+I've read that if you buy a current Visual Studio license from Microsoft
you can downgrade to VB6 for a fee.
