Visual Basics 6.0 vs Visual Basics 2010

Which version do you guys use? and which version does the VBA school here teaches?


From what i found online through googling, it seems that most people agreed that while VB 6 has mroe resources online for learning since it's been around from 1998, but most believe that Visual basics 2010 is the better version. (though majority of the things and the language remained the same, however from 1998 to 2010, a lot have changed.) and that the structure of how one would call a certain function in 2010 is different than vb6... but that 2010 made a lot of things a lot more efficient and easier to use.


what are your thoughts?
 
VBA has not changed much at all. What has changed is what you can do with VBA. You must learn the version for 2010. Everything you could do in earlier versions is still there in 2010. There are new things in 2010 that are not there in earlier versions.


Developing the code, though, might mean you have to program in 2003 (for example). If you use a 2010 object or reserved word that's not present in 2003's stable of functions, it won't work on a 2003 machine. If you use a 2003 object or function, it definitely WILL work on a 2010 computer.


So, to recap: learn the latest, but program at the level of most of your users.
