i got the same message with vb5 while trying to add inet control, it was a bug with vb5 and might be in 6, there should be a patch somewhere....

Now is the best time for you to be learning C or C++, not Visual Basic.  If you learn VB now at this impressionable age, it will scar you for life.  You won't be able to easily recover from the bad ways you have to program using Visual Basic.

I highly recommend you stay away from Visual Basic 6.0, and learn a programmer's language, like C.  Because you're probably very young, hold off on C++ for a couple years, or at least until you're fluent in C.  This I say because I'm not sure you're at a sufficiently developed age to manipulate abstractions with ease.  A couple more years and that will come.

k, thx

[hismajesty]

Yes, I too suggest starting with something besides VB. I didn't and it really hurt me/ is hurting me. Because every time I sit down to learn another language (besides web based languages) it is painful or something.

well, srry to hear that

Me too, the only reason I wanted to learn it was to make a bot and become instantly popular. So I decided to get CSB and leech code. I kick myself everyday for that (vb, csb, and mainly leeching)

I agree.......I have learned VB, and now the ways of VB have destroyed me......I wish I could only wipe my memory or switch to C++ but it's too late for me now   So learn C\C++ and dont bother with VB bro.....

I learned basic and vb first, I taught myself for the most part.  Then when I learned C++, I already knew how to learn a language, and found it quite easy to transfer my knowledge over.  Now I don't even touch vb, I havent' had it installed for at least 6 months, and I don't miss it.

Go with C.  Free compiler at www.bloodshed.net - it's an IDE based on the GNU gcc compiler.

I just recently started learning C++/C and swiitched directly from Visual Basic, I don't know what you people are talking about....it's still the same logic, as long as you dont get the syntax of the languages confused your fine.
