If we have only the executable file ( *.exe ) of any project made in computer language VISUAL BASIC 6. and if we want to extract complete coding written behind that project.
Can we do it or not ???

You can try a decompiler if you have the copyright on the executable. We use a 9rays.net decompiler
Its not free, but it works very well for the .NET applications. May be worth exploring with 9rays for something for VB.
Hope this helps.

This has been asked before.
Generally, no.
There used to be decompilers way back for vb3 and vb4 16-bit, but there are no decompilers for 32 bit VB.
The code is entirely different for 32 bit vs 16 bit.
You might get some form information back and some form variables, but not much else.

Essentially no. This is called "decompiling" and is only feasible in a very small number of cases. Try searching the net for a VB decompiler and give it a crack by all means, but don't get your hopes up!
Also, this has been asked before.

I'm afraid that's not possible, see a VB project gets compiled into an package (executable, install file etc). There might me software which can decompile but i'm not aware of any.

Its possible some time, but you can not took correct coding.
When Visual Basic file make to .exe file. some time you can decode to that file.
Search yahoo or google

What you are asking is called "Reverse Engineering"...!
I've heard that there are tools from Rational Rose which can decode the .exe. But I'm not sure up to what extent..
Lets try to google for some other tools, .. if I get to know, then I'll publish here...
Good Luck .... & Effort

No you can't. What you can do is see how the programs executable behaves, i.e flow of i/o, then just mimick it in your code. VB isn't that hard to write.

Not without the math formula(s) required to make such a calculation. Show us what you've done so far, and we can direct you to the next step. But you, at the very least, need to provide the necessary math to make that determination.

no you cannot .
it might be possible to disassamble it but you`ll never get the vb code .
