    I couldn't find any forum related to just VB so the closest one to my topic was this one. Does anyone know of a VB DEcompiler? I need to get some information out of our old compiled VB code. I believe is VB 5 or 6. Can anyone help me?

      This forum is for VB.

      For decompiling a .exe file? You cannot do that, because once a program is compiled, there's no way of decompiling the code because it's just 1s and 0s then.

        VB5 and 6 both compiled down to native code, but start at too high a level. There is nothing that will decompile it back to anything close to resembling the original source.

          Search for reverse engineering and VB. As already have been pointed out, it's impossible to get the original code back, but it's possible to re-create code that will do the same as the original code did.

            You can try to read the ansi character if you want to get dizzy. Why don't you make the decompiling program by yourself
