vb5 to vb.net translation question

I have a vb5 form i need converted to vb.net

frmApplicant.frm
frmApplicant.frx

I have Visual Studio Pro 2005 and the vb conversion wizard starts when
i try to open the vb5 app.vbp files

It errors out because the app uses an Oracle oledb data source I don't
have installed or need.

All I want is the form and the only way I see to do it is recreate.

Can I run the vb conversion wizard on just the form? VS vb.net does not
recognize the frm file.

Demi,

You can of course as well recreate your VB5 application and remove all those
things that will hurt. (This is given somewhere on a page on MSDN. I don't
not know direct how to find that)

With that source you can than to try to do the conversion.

I am not aware if you can use VB5 to do a conversion to VBNet by the way.
