Incidentally, I just discovered that Microsoft has continued support for VB6 until the 31st of march this year. They initially terminated support back in 2005, there is obvioulsy still a considerable amount of programmers developing in it. Also, all of the latest operating systems come shipped with VB6 run times! (bet ya didn't know that) This includes Vista.

Expect to be able to run all of your VB.com applications on operating systems well into the next decade! VB6 is far from finished.
