I don't have the VB.NET IDE installed yet. I need now information. I want to 
know if there is an application for the upgrade, if there are problems with 
the upgrade, and what are the problems.

thanks.

The various versions of VB.NET include an "Upsizing Wizard" that converts 
your VB6 application to the latest format. But depending on the complexity 
of the original program, you may have to do a little or a lot more work to 
get the converted code to work properly. Microsoft did not write the wizard 
themselves, but hired another company. The Wizard displays the company name 
and their web site, were you can fine information on a more advanced version 
of the Wizard.

The main problem is you'll get a lot of hard to read and
difficult to maintain code. A lot of code isn't converted,
if the old vb6 code still works - and be warned some code
works but not in the same way. Some code cannot be
converted.

I still stay the best way to upgrade is to re-write.
