FAQ
What is a VB6 .frm file?
A .frm file is a Visual Basic 6 form definition file. It stores the layout, properties, and control definitions of a form in a plain-text format that the VB6 IDE reads.
Why do I need to escape VB6 source as HTML?
Raw .frm source contains characters like <, >, and & that break HTML rendering. Escaping them lets you safely embed the form definition in wikis, tickets, and reports without corrupting the page.
Does this tool render the form visually?
No. It produces a safe, escaped HTML view of the .frm source so you can read and document the form definition. It does not draw the form's visual layout.
Is my legacy code uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your VB6 source code never leaves your machine.
Can I use this for VB6 migration documentation?
Yes. The escaped HTML output is ideal for pasting into migration reports, Jira tickets, Confluence pages, and other documentation systems.
