We have a number of school admin programs that we wrote a year or six ago. We now have VB6.
Can anyone tell me a good strategy for upgrading the existing VB3 programs to VB6?
 
I always create a new project, add all the existing stuff to the new project and compile. You can then see what happens and correct any problems. Usually API calls need some special attention.

Api calls and custom controls will be your biggest problem.
You will have to change all 16 bit apis & controls to 32 bit. The api's should be no major problem, but you minght not be able to find some of the more weird controls in 32 bit.
