   Your choice - as long as your aware that they are two   
   completely different languanges.   
      
   Most people don't have a choice, if you have a large VB6   
   code base then most are sticking with VB6, if your a new   
   programmer, most are going with 2005 (since it's getting   
   harder to obtain a copy of VB6)
