Using VB6 GPIB in Windows 7

Solved!
Go to solution

I have an application that is in VB6 but running under Windows 7. Is there a different DLL I should be using in this case? Windows 7 won't let me register the original gpib-32.dll...

You need a version compatible with windosw 7.

Thanks. I had a copy of the old version in the folder with my project. Most of the calls started working fine after I removed the local copy. I was having problems with the Send command. Is this command no longer supported?

The Send command is still listed in the help file. Can you use it in the NI-488.2 Interactive Control in MAX? do you get an error?
