Hello, I'm new. I'm a teacher (not a programmer), but I would like to get a little more serious about hobby programming. I have Visual Basic 6.0 Working Model (this came with one of the programing books I bought for a college class a few years back). Unfortunately, I cannot create executables. I have to run my programs from inside the development environment. I'd really like to share my programs with friends and family.
