Wow VB.. haven't used that in a while. Used to love it. Anyways, you can use above mentioned programs to get it and if you need the serial number to install it, You can just enter 1234-1111111 and it should install. By the way, you dont need this info but if anyone cares, its very simple to comeup with your own serial for older microsoft products. Not just VB, but windows 95, office 97 etc.. (yea i know noone probably even uses them anymore) It should have 2 textboxes. the first one will take 4 digits and second one will take 7 digits. in the first textbox, you can enter any combination of numbers. In the second textbox, you can still enter any combination of numbers however the sum of these numbers must be divisible by 7. in the serial i provided above, the last 7 digits are all 1's which add up to 7 and since its divisible by 7 it will work
