What version of Measurement Studio do I buy for Visual Studio 6.0?

[p-38]

I am consulting for a company that requires me to use VB 6.0 and I am looking for the NI Measurement Studio version to purchase but this particular part of this web site is as confusing as HP's(Agilent) so I have yet to figure it out. The evaluation software I have for Measurement Studio lists Visual Studio.net 2003 as a requirement. Has NI assumed everyone has migrated to .net?

National Instruments is actually one of the few companies that IS still supporting Visual Basic 6.0. We currently offer both an evaluation for Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET. From the Measurement Studio home page (ni.com/mstudio), you will see two different path options: 6.0 & .NET. If you select the 6.0 option and scroll down, you will see the option to request the 6.0 evaluation software here: (https://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nigb.guestbook?code=GB_EVALMSSTUDIO6〈=US&gb_prof_id=1907&scode=&pr=1907).
To purchase the 6.0 tools, you simply need to purchase Measurement Studio 7.0 which includes the 6.0 tools as outlined in the package comparison chart here: http://volt.ni.com/niwc/common.jsp?page=mstudio_package_compare&node=3769
The Measurement Stud
io 7.0 packages (Professional and Enterprise) include both the Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 6.0 tools.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Thanks for such a speedy reply. I have ordered Measurement Studio 7.0 Enterprise. The fact that the 6.0 reference actually said "Measurement Studio for Visual Basic 6.0 Evaluation Software" led me to believe that there was a package just for VB 6.0 which I obviously couldn't find, so I never looked in the 7.0 comparisons.

Thanks again...these forums actually work when there are informed people involved.
