I use VisualStudio 2003.net and C# and CodeBase as the database. I have a lot of apps in use by customers. The C# bit is also worth going for as you will find that Microsoft will Make .Net the only way to go for the PC's

These are the links for:
"eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 - 2002 Edition"
which is a large download, 210Mb.
Someone with a Broadband connection could download it.
The program will allow you to create programs for a device such as a Compaq iPaq.
The environment is similar to Visual Basic 6 (I've not used VB5)

Yes, Microsoft is actually giving it free! Though the download is daunting. I've downloaded it myself and had it working on an XP system.
I hope this helps.
Don't forget to let us know if it is of help or if it does not apply to what you are looking for.
