Hi all. I thought that when vb.net arrived that vb6 was over with. I
do most of my development work in MS Access. I purchased vb.net 2003
and did not like having it.

My questions are:
Is it viable to develop new projects in vb6 going forward?
Is Microsoft helping in any way?
Do apps written in vb6 work ok with WinXP or Vista?

Even little me can partially answer that one! Vb6 is certainly OK in XP.
Thanks,
TD
