    Welcome to VBForums

    VB6 is rather out of date (it was released in 1998), and it is no longer supported - we do not know if VB6 programs will be able to work on any future versions of Windows.

    There have been several new versions of VB since then, all of which are part of .Net, which comes with lots of pre-written code and does lots of things for you (such as automatically sizing/moving controls when you resize the form, making it very easy to putt an icon next to the clock, etc).

    There are several people who haven't used .Net but don't like it on principle (generally because they don't want to use something new, or because the users might need a one-off big installation), but if you have a choice I would strongly recommend using it - even after about 10 years of VB6, my first VB.Net program took me less time than the VB6 equivalent would have.

    You can get the latest version of VB.Net for free from www.microsoft.com/Express
