The Graduate Wizard The wizard should now translate your Small Basic program into Visual Basic and then automatically launch the Visual Basic environment for you. Fill in the location where you want your new Visual Basic program, and hit Continue
Running the program from Visual Basic Once you have exported your Visual Basic program, you will now see a new programming environment.  Just click on the “Play” button on the toolbar, and your program should run just the same way as it ran from Small Basic Your new environment should look similar to this.
Learning more about Visual Basic Visual Basic is a very powerful language and environment that enables you to further your programming fun.
