Don't know if this would be helpful...

I'm primarily an MS Excel VBA developer who, on occasion, uses VB6 for 
some dev work. There are specific differences between Classic VB and 
VBA even though they implement the same syntax for coding. That means 
that if I want to share code modules (ergo storing only 1 file instead 
of 2) between the two I need to write separate lines for each 
discipline. Then I can just comment out the inappropriate lines before 
compiling. Fortunately, the compiler reminds me if I forget!<g>
