Sorry, don't quite get you...
You have a VB5 program and want to convert it to VB6, or you want to hack your copy of VB5 and turn it into VB6? If the former, you should be able to use the same source, unless it's particularly complex; most VB5 functions and key words are also in VB6. I started off learning VB6 from a VB4 tutorial. If you wish to perform the latter, I can't help you, and nor can anyone here, as it's impossible and illegal.

hi!
no hackin !!!
i just wanna open my vb 5 source code in vb 6 IDE.
also, i wanna make a setup using P&D wizard of vb 6.
 
BlueByte;

I have VB4, VB5, and VB6 on my desktop, and any time I open a program in VB6 that is in VB4 or VB5 format, I get a window that tells me the version and asks if I wish to save the project in VB6. I just save the project in VB6.
You must remember that it is not backward compatable on all fronts, but I have not had a problem upgrading.
I hope this helps!!!
Good Luck
