Hi Y'all - -

Before anyone asks why in the world I'm still writing lots of VB 6.0 code, I'll make it totally clear, I'M CHEAP, actually I like frugal better. Doesn't sound quite so negative. Actually, I'd probably still be writing FORTRAN IV code if I still had a working compiler.

I've written lots and lots of VB 6.0 code over the years and am very proficient at doing so, BUT, the time is rapidly approaching when my VB 6.0 code will no longer run properly on whatever newer version of Windows will be coming down the pike, so it's becoming necessary to seriously look at buying and coming up to speed on a dot Net compiler. What is the best version to buy for strictly personal use?? I certainly don't want a version with minimal and/or stunted capabilities that won't do more than the very basics, but also can't afford a thousand dollar compiler either.

Suggestions will be much appreciated.
