VS2003 is the latest released version.

The latest C++ compiler is much more standard conforming than previous
versions, though if your code is compiled with VC5/6 you probably
won't be too concerned with that aspect.

The VS IDE is quite considerably different from VC6, so if you found
the relatively small changes from VC5 to 6 problematic, you'll
certainly find difficulties moving to VS.
