Ok checked the links, and yes they say the Learning edition can compile and distribute...

So to the next question...what version have we got which doesn't allow compiling and distribution?????? Or are we being gipped in oz by the evil empire???? I am so confused now it isn't funny. When our "Learning" edition boots up the splash screen just says "Microsoft Visual Basic 6", and everything looks like a normal visual basic session.

This is really weird....it allows programming of winsock but doesn't allow compiling.

Any one have any idea of what the hell this version is, as clearly it is not the Learning Edition, which the invoice claims it to be.
