Visual Basic 60 Projects With Source Code (2024-2026)

Best for: String manipulation, Select Case, and math functions.

This list is intended as a complete catalog of 60 VB6 project ideas with clear directions for source code packaging. Pick projects that match your skill level, incrementally add features, and document dependencies so others can build and run your code. If you want, I can generate a starter project for any single item above (sample .vbp + main form code and modules) — tell me which project you want and I’ll produce starter source files.
