   VB6 executables compiled in native code can`t be decompiled   
      
   i know there was a succesfull vb4 decompiler however i never ever saw a true   
   decompiler of a native compiled VB6 executable   
      
   As far as i know it doesn`t exist although lots of people claim it is out   
   there  ,,   
      
   As a professional programmer myself i lost lots of code ( by stupidity of my   
   own :-) ) , however i learned that i should not waste my time in trying to   
   do something that is not going to work ,, okay it is hard but start from   
   scratch and rewrite it ,,,, it is probably done in lots of fewer units as   
   the original and probably a lot better
