Hi,
I have an .exe file in for which we do not have the source code. The
..exe was written in vb 5.
The program is very important to us. Is there a wasy we get to the source
code from .exe file.

Please treat this as urgent and help me with suggessions/clues/leads.

Thanking you,
Venugopal

You have posted this question individually to multiple groups. This is
called Multiposting and it's BAD. Replies made in one group will not be
visible in the other groups, which may cause multiple people to respond to
your question with the same answer because they didn't know someone else had
already done it. This is a waste of time.

If you MUST post your message to multiple groups, post a single message and
select all the groups (or type their names manually, separated by commas) in
which you want it to be seen. This is called Crossposting and when used
properly it is GOOD.

(This isn't just my opinion. Look here:

Adding to the pile... the only suggestion I have is... look at this like a
harsh learning experience. Even if a program is written in plain text, the
source has to be backed up.
