Any cheap or free IDE's out there for VB6 programming? or is MS the only way to go?
Thanks.
VB6 is a Microsoft language and product, so they have the VB6 thing sewed up.
If you need the VB6 compiler, there's no alternative to the real Microsoft product. You can run it in command-line mode so I guess you could use any IDE.
- If you have an MSDN subscription, you can download Visual Basic 6 free.
- Otherwise try somewhere like eBay, although it's often surprisingly expensive. Although Microsoft said in September 09 there were still several million people using VB6, so maybe it's not that surprising.
