Depends on how it was compiled. If it was compiled to native code then the best you can do is to decompile it to assembler. You wont get VB source code out of it.
If it was compiled in a tokenized format you may be able to decompile it back to VB source code. There were decompilers available to do this. Tokenized format was a half way stage between source code and native code.
Tokenized format is a throw-back to the days when BASIC was an interpreted language. The chances are that being VB6 is in native code as it runs faster and there is not a lot you can do with it except run it.
