I tried to do what you're trying to do several years ago. &nbsp;Unfortunately, because of the way VB-DOS handles memory (or rather, doesn't handle it) it won't use XMS or EMS for its own storage. &nbsp;You can, however, use XMS or EMS for storing your own data, freeing up conventional memory for VB-DOS.<br />
<br />
Sorry, but I'm afraid there's not much you can do about it.<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
