Does anyone know if you can download Visual Basic from the internet or is it a case of you have to buy?
 
Well, you have to buy it no matter where you get it. ;) I'm not aware of any "download and pay online" type deals, if that's what you mean. You can order it online, but I don't think they let you download it.
 
Oh well never mind, its just for a college course Im doing, not to worry, its not worth me buying it just to do homework!
 
If it's just for a college course, you could just get a "working version" of VB. They often come packaged with a book and are basically the same as a regular version, except they won't build an executable.
Or, if you think you'll use it again, you may want to avail yourself of the educational discount at the campus book store. I think the Standard and Professional Editions VB 6 compiler goes for about $50 and $100 after educational discount. Still not cheap, but it's about 80% off.
 
Tobo -- take advantage of the educational discounts while you can get them. After you graduate, upgrading is much cheaper than paying full price.
