I know this question has probably been asked countless of times and know there probably isn't one out there, but is there anyway to do reverse engineering on an EXE compiled by VB6? I need to try to read the source code of an EXE that was compiled by VB6. Even if I can get bits and pieces I can probably rebuild it. I know the variables won't be the same since they get converted into addresses but any suggestions on how to do this or links would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the original source code for any program, being Visual Basic, Visual C++, or whatever.

When the original code runs through a compiler, it is converted into machine language and the original names of the variables and such do not exist any longer.

You can run it through a disassembler, though, and convert the program to assembly. Look for win32dasm to do this.
