i think kylix from borland is comparable - i am guessing perl with gtk will be big in the new furture

There is Phoenix , which is a basic "compiler"/editor that has a GUI for designing forms. No matter what, it is unlikely that you will be able to open/edit VB in Linux and vice versa.

Perl with Tk or Gtk bindings are as easy as working with VBasic and alot more powerfull.

I don't really want to do VB in linux. I just saw how easy it was to make a windows app w/ it. Is there some thing similar in linux for making forms. I came across Glade which seems just like VB.

thanx,
