This Visual Basic 6 guide walks a beginner step by step through tutorials on this site that will get you up and running. The best way to navigate through the guide is by using the links on the left. Or you can use the links below and then hit your browser's back button. Each link will take you to a different tutorial on this site that will teach you the next step you need to know to learn.
- One of the first and best things to do is begin to understand the Visual Basic IDE (Integrated Development Environment). By understanding the IDE you will be able to develop VB programs quickly and effectively. Start by reading the Getting to know the VB6 IDE tutorial
- The classic first program in any language is the Hello World tutorial. As a beginner you should make sure you write this program to get your feet wet. Check out the Simple Hello World VB6 tutorial
- Good programmers figure out how to use a consistent naming scheme when they develop applications. The quickest way to graduate out of the beginner VB6 level is to check out the Object Types and Naming Scheme VB tutorial
- Variables are used in any real development. Make sure you visit the Quick Variable tutorial to see how variables work in Visual Basic 6
- (Optional) More In Depth Understanding variables and types in VB6
- When you need to make comparisons or have your program choose between options you will need to understand Visual Basic's if statements. Luckily there's a beginners tutorial that explains just that: Understanding the if conditional statement
- Once you grasp the basics check out this next beginner VB6 tutorial that goes more in depth into conditional statements: Understanding if statements and conditionals in VB6
- Need to do something repeatedly? Need to iterate through a list of things? Need to count from 1 to 1 Billion by 3's? You need to understand loops! Understanding For, Do, and while Loops
- Once a beginner understands how to use functions and subroutines he or she is on the road to being a full fledged VB6 guru. A solid grasp on functions and subroutines allows you to reuse code and functionality throughout your program and in future programs.Functions and Subroutines in VB6 tutorial
- Last but not least, begin to learn how to use all the great controls Visual Basic offers and create a great User Interface for your clients to use. Basic Graphical User Interfaces in VB6 - Tutorial
Once you have finished these tutorials you should have a very good understanding of the fundamentals of the Visual Basic 6 language and development environment. Feel free to download some more advanced tutorials and continue learning on your own. If you have any questions or comments related to this Visual Basic 6 guide please post them below.

I m happy to hear all of your comments. I think all are happy to learn VB. I can say one of the easiest computer programming language in the world. those who learn it as first language you will be good programmer for all other computer language. I have learnt most of the programming language but I encourage you to learn first Visual Basic then learn other language. it is easy and GUI form. I am not that expert but I can design what i want from VB6. I am still learning. Those who want any help from me regarding VB6 project or assignment I can help you. so you can contact me via email anytime.

THANKS..............
connect
first create database
name your database firstMDB
then name your table myTable
then create fields, Name_ko,Last_ko
after you create database you can start coding in VB
create a connection on a module
Public connectFirstMDB As ADODB.Connection
Function load_data()
Set connectFirstMDB = New Connection
connectFirstMDB.Open "PROVIDER=MSDataShape;Data PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & "C:\foldercode\firstMDB.mdb"
End Function
then on a form
declare
Public withevents rs_connect as ADODB.Recordset
Public Sub Form_Load()
on error goto err123 'in case an error occured
call load_data
set rs_connect = new recordset
rs_connect.Open "SELECT Name_ko,Last_ko from myTable",connectFirstMDB,adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
set datagrid1.datasource = rs_connect
exit sub
err123:
msgbox err.description
end sub
note: if your database contains nothing then error will occure telling "DATA ACCESS ERROR". just put at least 1 record.

learn java insead of vb6, or
learn java insead of vb6, or at least vb.net
vb6 is dead, including its architecture.
java is so complicated and vb is easier to use
vb is counter measure of java so why i should stick to long snytax coding... but i knew already java... vb is compatible 2 all .dll components, active x components and etc... windows base programs usually POS point of sale (vb is more advantage)
in web its vb.net now leading program using by big company through web base and accessing databases...
