I have a custom vb app that i created years ago but no longer have the
source code for. Is there anyway to modify the code of the current
program without re-programming it? Thanks for any suggestions.

Is this a dot net app?

This is a dotnet newsgroup.

If that's a VB5 or VB6 app, in a nut shell, forget it. There are no tools
available that will retrieve your VB source from a compiled component
(that's a good thing) About the best you'll be able to do is take screen
captures of all forms and try to reproduce them in a new app.... If you're
well versed in spaghetti style assembler language, you may be able to
decompile the app and make sense of the resulting assembler language project
you'll end up with. Other than that, you're stuck. Backing up often is the
only sure fire way to prevent this kind of thing.
