So, you want to get hold of a copy of Visual Basic?
Unfortunately, Visual Basic 6 is NOT a free program, and if you persist in asking where to download it (an illegal copy) you will most likely find yourself removed from the channel.
If you don't yet have any VB experiance, then it is best to start learning Visual Basic.Net of which there is a free version available from Microsoft called Visual Basic Express.
The Control Creation edition of Visual Basic 5.0 is freely available & allows you to create & compile native ActiveX components, however it does not support compiling executables.
