A point I overlooked.
<< now microsoft does not support vb6 custom code.
Do you already have SDK / VBTools screens developed in VB6 for earlier versions of Dynamics SL?
If so, the 7.0 SDK includes a conversion utility.

The SDK comes with Dynamics SL - it is the VT Module, and is installed when you do the Dynamics SL install.
If you are working with SL 7.x, then some of the rules are:-
- The machine you are using for development must have a full SL install (ie not just a Client Install)
- VS must be installed prior to the SL Install. However, I have found that if VS is installed after SL, you can probably "fix things" by uninstalling then reinstalling the SL Client.
If you are not familiar with SL development - it is quite different from "standard VB development".
All database work is done using the API and the Kernel.
All "screen work" is done using SL Conrols and the API.
I suggest getting the SDK Training Manual. I haven't actually seen that manual for several years, but it used to do a good job of explaining the concepts, and it had somr worked examples.

The first thing is to identify whether you want to use Customization, or the SDK (aka VBTools.)
Customization is used to customize existing Dynamics SL screens.
Code is written in VBA (or the older BSL.)
VBTools is used to write new screens.
You write them in VB, but making use of the SL Kernel, API & Controls, etc.
In SL versions up to 6.5, you would use VB6 (or possibly VB5 in some cases.)
In SL 7.0, you use VB 2005.
In SL 7.0 FP1, I think you can still use VB 2005. But I think the preferred version is VB 2008.
