Keep Visual Basic apps running. Modernize on your terms.
Elevate Your Legacy Systems with Wizmo
Older Microsoft Visual Basic (VB6) and Access/Jet apps still run core workflows—but as teams and data grow, limits around performance, security, and integrations show up fast. Wizmo delivers practical Microsoft Visual Basic support and Microsoft Visual Basic modernization so you can scale without a risky rebuild.
VB6 and Access/Jet remain essential for many small to mid-sized organizations, including:
These systems manage data entry, automate workflows, and track transactions, affordably and reliably.
While 4D has served your business well, it presents challenges that can slow growth:
Jet has a ~2GB file cap; concurrency and query speed degrade as data/users grow.
How Wizmo Helps: Migrate data to Microsoft SQL Server (or other SQL targets) with staged pilots, reconciliation, and planned cutovers for predictable performance.
Older stacks lack modern encryption, MFA, RBAC, and audit trails.
How Wizmo Helps: Implement encryption in transit/at rest, role-based access, MFA, logging, and retention aligned with HIPAA/GDPR needs.
VB6 runtimes, COM controls, and legacy dependencies raise costs and break agility.
How Wizmo Helps: Stabilize and support; document business logic; source-control your code; plan phased modernization to .NET or web where it makes sense.
Legacy apps don’t easily connect to modern tools.
How Wizmo Helps: Add REST/ODBC connectors and middleware to integrate with cloud services, web apps, and BI (e.g., dashboards/spreadsheets).
Flat-file back ends can be a single point of failure.
How Wizmo Helps: Managed private-cloud hosting or your environment with backups, DR testing, and monitoring to keep operations steady.
Keep what works; host it right.
Run your VB6/Access app in a managed private-cloud or your environment for secure remote access and steady performance, without a rewrite.
Includes: access hardening (VPN/SSO), daily snapshots with tested restores, monitoring and capacity planning.
Scale past file limits.
Move Jet data to Microsoft SQL Server for reliability, concurrency, and speed while the app keeps working. We migrate in stages to avoid surprises.
Includes: schema mapping and linked-table updates, parallel runs with reconciliation, indexed/backup-ready SQL.
Modern UX where it matters.
Target high-value screens for .NET or browser-based UI to improve usability across devices, while core workflows and reports stay intact.
Includes: module-by-module upgrades, SSO/RBAC, user acceptance testing, and measured rollout.
Bridge today to tomorrow.
Use ODBC to connect existing forms and reports to the new SQL back end so teams stay productive while modernization proceeds.
Includes: DSN setup and tuning, passthrough queries, monitoring for query health.
Keep the rules that run your business.
We inventory, document, and port your custom logic so outcomes remain the same after changes.
Includes: test migrations, record-level checks, rollback plan, sign-off at each milestone.

Most providers avoid legacy platforms like Microsoft Visual Basic with Access/Jet, we support them every day. We know the VB6 runtime, COM quirks, DAO/ADO data access, and the reporting/workflow dependencies your team relies on. Your system isn’t broken; it needs a partner who gets it.
Wizmo brings:
Deep Microsoft Visual Basic and legacy business software experience
Hosting and support options tailored to older platforms (managed private-cloud or your environment)
A team that works with, not against, your existing forms, reports, and integrations
White-glove, phased migration paths for organizations with 50+ users
If your business is still relying on legacy systems like VB6 and Microsoft Access, it’s time to upgrade.
