        I fail to see how this is a "Work and Training" issue... But, the two can be run side-by-side with no problems. But, you MUST install VB6 FIRST, then you can install any higher version of Visual Studio .NET.

          Yes, and why would you want to install VB6. It's been dead for sometime now.

                Paul's right. Vista and Server 2008 are the last operating systems that will support the VB6 runtime. We are strongly urging ISVs to migrate to .Net if they still have VB6 products.

                  Maintenance isn't dead by a longshot... Also, if you're into writing ActiveX components, then VB is an excellent tool for testing purposes. That's the only good use for VB, IMO. :)

                    Heh. That should've happened at about VB v3.0... ;)

                      Especially if there's alot of legacy code still floating around out there to be brought up to .NET.
