OCX controls add grids, calendars, and progress bars. Planet Source Code has thousands of free downloads.

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

My first VB6 program

Made a tip calculator with buttons and a text box. It actually works! VB6 makes Windows programs so approachable.

GORILLAS.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS came free with DOS and taught a whole generation to code. Anyone else start there?
