    Is there any way to make my programs work on an Apple Mac?
    Is there like some converter for .exe to whatever mac uses?

    No, not really. There is however a RealBasic language that does it. It also has converter from VB6 to RealBasic and then to Mac. So, you may want to give it the try. But I think you need to have professional version.

    I'm afraid you have no choice - VB6 is designed to work only under MS Windows.

    Re: Programming For Mac

    And if you want to run your code on a mac you need to alter the source code. If you work through the real basic standard Tut. you will encounter code written to distinguish between Windows and OSX on several occasions. there is no way to just write in VB6 and convert it to OSX for slightly more complex code.
