Re: Web enablement options (previously private)

Not predict, guarantee.  You can not easily convert VB6 to vb.net.

This is what all VB professionals are saying that beta tested vb.net:

Use VB 6 to support your current apps (VB 6 IS going to be supported for a
significant while longer).  Write EVERYTHING new in VB.net.

Rewrite old apps to VB.Net as you can find the time and resources.
