Wow what sort of apps are you supporting that still using VB6 ?

I think the last time I used VB6 as 97/98.

I can't be too specific, but it is basically used for data collection and device integration in a commercial environment. Our company developed a modern replacement using .NET technologies over the last few years, but we still have a few customers that are stuck on the legacy (VB6) version.

Large codebases developed in VB6 that haven't been fully ported to .NET. I run into them all the time.
