Link,

I'm a VB6 coder also. I tried MobileVB, which installs itself "inside" the VB6 IDE. You can write an app using VB, and Palm objects appear on the left just like regular VB objects. The problem with that system is that it requires an extra app (I think it's called Booster) to run on the palm. So if you ever wanted to write any freeware, you'd have to distribute your app, then tell them to install booster on their palm or they can't use your app.

So I tried PDA Toolbox (PDAT). I'm pretty sure PDAT was written in VB. Anyway, it's a great little IDE that supports rapid development and has a feel like VB (sortof). However, you'll have to read the tutorials because what you automatically know with VB can be counter intuitive with this (just like learning any new language). If you decide to get it, go for the advanced add-on stuff with it which will give you more power. It's designed for a novice programmer but the add on stuff, which is free, is more for the power writers. Check it out here: http://www.pdatoolbox.com/
