Decompiling VB

[JohnStep]

Just to see if I am correct. It is my understanding that programs compiled in VB6 cannot be decompiled unlike the eariler versions of VB like 4,5? is this correct?&nbsp;&nbsp;If not what do you recommend is the best way to make a program decomple proof??/<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John Stephens&nbsp;&nbsp;

VB4 and below can be decompiled, 5 and 6 cannot, reason being is that 5 and 6 are partly compiled into native code, in VB4 and below you could still see the code almost as if it were a text file by opening the exe in notepad, this is because VB4 and below was completely interpreted by the dll, vb5 and 6 now does at least part of the work, while compiling the rest as machine calls to the runtime dll.<br><br> <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
