I've found that VB.NET is on the whole much better: a) Much more consistent syntax than VB6 b) Better debugger and IDE c) Easier to interop with other stuff (including itself :-)) d) Library support - reams and reams of .NET goodness On the other hand, VB6 could be better if you are targeting an environment where you don't want to risk deploying the .NET Framework and all the required patches. You can probably get started quicker with VB6 too - it's less scary looking. HTH
