Yep. Not a lot, but some every now and then. Last lot was actually VB5. VB5 system so a VB5 library to integrate with one products API and a C# assembly to integrate with a Java app. -
Youll actually find quite a bit of 'legacy' VB6 in some major finance companies still... locally in Edinburgh there is a mix of VB6 and C# (strangely few take the path to VB.Net it seems). There are also the 'rogue' Access based apps developed locally by enthusiastically amatuer users, which IT departments often dont even know exist but turn out to be vital to the company.Vieze Oude ManComment

I have had a few offers for VB6 work although i am concentrating on .net however i have just had an MSAccess app dropped on me for immediate bug fix with a view to upgrading to SQL etc..
Funnily I read a survey recently that said that there was a 50/50 split between people actively developing VB6 and .net but it went on to say that this was a change to a previous year in which the break down was 65/35..
For the record i like vb6...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
