Re: how can I learn VB6 ?
VB6 is 11 years old programming language. It's based on very old language that is at least twice its age...
What I would recommend is to get a copy of Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition - it's free, modern, limited yet powerfull and very fun language.
So, downloaded it, install it, start playing with it and come back as many times as you wish with any question you may ever have.
Good luck.

There are many tutorials for learning vb6, but the real question is: why would you want to start learning an ancient language right off the bat?

Javad, listen to the advice here. Start with Visual Basic 2008. You can get it for free. I've been using it and I recommend it.
 Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

Re: how can I learn VB6 ?
If you are interested in learning VB6 there are really good books out there that you can use to learn the programming language which is fairly easy to learn and counterintuitive in most areas.
However, it is behind the curve as mentioned earlier in this thread. When VB.NET launched there was a "grand canyon gap wide " of difference between what .NET offered and what VB6 could produce, and overnight most employers went the .NET route as Microsoft shifted it product line in that direction away from COM objects and of the headaches they bring with them and employing tighter security features.
In my own humble opinion it would be to your advantage to learn something current along the same lines. Visual Basic 2008 fits that bill. It would be like me asking to learn Fortran 77 when I should be learning ASP.NET 3.5, AJAX or Silverlight.
Now if you wanted to learn COBOL or C++ there would be an antiquated language that still has value today as they are both utilized a great deal in a lot of financial businesses and corporations.
