I'm planning on putting Visual Studio .Net on my computer which already has Visula Basic 6.0 on it. I need to maintain applications written in both. Is anyone aware of any issues doing that?

No issues that I'm aware of.
In truth, the only thing they have in common is the name "Visual Basic". Other than that, they are two, completely different programming environments.
No issues at all. They both install to different default filepaths and each have their own separate runtime engines (VB6 runtimes and .NET Framework). I have been running S6 and VS.NET 2003 side by side on both my work and home systems for about a year now and its great.! :thumb:
the only time there ever was an issue was when VS2000 was in beta... it didn't play well with VB for some reason. But they got it corrected before the final release and there hasn't been a problem since.

There is an issue, but it's a very very minor issue. With Visual Studio 6, you could type devenv (in Start > Run) to open up Visual Interdev. After installing VS 2003, devenv opens Visual Studio 2003. And if you've got VS 2005, devenv opens VS 2005. :)
