I'm building a database and  just finished 3 courses in vb 6.0 . It appears
that if I use Access97 , I will
have to learn VBA which has different syntax that is going to become
obsolete someday. Can I just build my project in
Access 2000 and will vb 6.0 work in place of the vba in Access97?

Actually, VBA is the _core_ language behind both Visual Basic and Office.
VB has a lot of extra "stuff" around VBA that extends the whole "package" (I
consider VB to be a development "package", not a language).  There's nothing
different in terms of syntax as long as you go with supported features.

No, you can't code a db in Access 2000 and expect to open it in Access 97.
The Jet database formats are different and the only way to go back to the
prior version is to go through the Access 2000's "Save As Prior Version"
feature.
