Can usually find one on ebay. Can sometimes find a crippled learning version that comes with a book. Used to be able to download it from Microsoft as the control creation edition or something similar... If all you need is a similar user interface, try Xbasic. It's free. mike -- Bunch of stuff For Sale and Wanted at the link below. 21' RV, 400cc Dirt Bike Police Scanner, LCD overhead projector Tek 2465, ham radio, 30pS pulser Tektronix Concept Books, spot welding head... http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Monitor/4710/

Logi #3 / 6	visual basic compiler The only way to get a compiler for VB is to purhase the product. I am not aware of any website that has a non-Microsoft compiler for VB. You can do a search on the internet and find copies of VB 3.0, VB 4.0 for download from sites that pirate the software. VB 5.0, VB 6.0 are not available as a pirated edition from what I've seen or read on any newsgroup. VB.NET is the latest version from Microsoft that is intended to replace the VB 6.0 version. There are a large percentage of VB programmers who are not too happy about .NET because it totally drops the VB type language in favor of a C / HTML / JAVA sort of language. The single complaint I've heard on the newsgroups is that anyone can open your project in a text editor and read your code.

Here is the free version of VB to get you started http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/tools/cce/default.aspx Vic

The only copy of vb i have is VB5LE from a book i bought cheap. It does compile and so is useful for simple vb programs which you want to transport around (assuming the runtime is on the other machine). There are limitations, so this option is only good if you don't plan on 'serious' scale projects.
