Depends entirely on the VB App portion; MySQL and php/apache perform VERY well on FreeBSD, but (generally speaking) you cannot run any server-side stuff written in VB6. If your VB6 code runs entirely on a client machine running windows, and only connects to the MySQL server, then yes - it will work, and is in fact something I do quite often. You'll need the MySQL ODBC connector, (MyODBC 3.51), and a connection string as appropriate to your database/server for an ADO connection... but nonetheless it does work, and it works well too (speaking from experience). -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ Maxwell Kakulu wrote: > Hi, please will my vb6 distributed applications with > an mssql server back end and php,javascript/mysql web > applications run easily on freebsd as they run on > windows?.
