Install it, and then VB6 SP6 - everything I've done works fine.

What programs are contained in VB Studio 2008? Is there a VB 6 program in there too?
VB6 was 1998. All versions of VB after that are VB.Net

Are many people still using VB6, as opposed to VB Net?
More people use .Net , and the percentage keeps growing over time.

Also, one last question. Is there a FREE program on line like PAINT SHOP PRO (for example), where I can capture a picture to create a bitmap?
Paint (which comes with Windows) can do that.
Paint.Net can do more too.

Re: General Questions VB 6
I have VB 6 Enterprise Edition. I do not have SP6 with this, or is this part of the program install?
Can I get this down load from Microsoft.......Any other suggestions? Thanks
I have avoided using VB.NET as I have many apps in VB6. Is there an easy way to migrate into VB.NET? If not, do you know how I can make my apps APPEAR more professional (ie: Like the Norton Interface for eg). Does anyone have a sample app to send to see how this can be done in VB6? Would VB.NET allow for a more professional look?
Thank you very kindly for helping here. I have been away from my programming for over a year due to my work and want to get back into it again. I am very grateful for your help and direction. Thanks:wave:

Download it from MS.

No, it is easier/better to re-write them rather than use the conversion tools available.
You can do it one step at a time tho, such as by doing part in .Net (perhaps in a DLL) and using it from a VB6 program.

I don't know your apps, or Norton - so it is very hard for me to know what you want.

Yes, and it is easier to do that - because there is a larger range of built in controls, which look/act better, and have more functionality.
Re: General Questions VB 6
I think you can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
For the interfacing, you can use those third party (free/paid) controls for VB6... I like the codejock Skin Framework(but it is not free) : http://www.codejock.com/products/skinframework/ ... :wave:
