I'm taking over a project someone left. All I have is the exe for one of the programs. Is there a way to get back the actual files/coding used to build the exe?

Thanx
O.P.
 
I assume it is a VB program, sorry but the bad news is you cant get the source back from the exe. You could with VB3 and there are some decompilers about on the net, but no such thing exists for VB6. The problem is that VB3 compiled to pseudo code, where as VB6 compiles to proper machine code(known as native code in the project proerties).
