Creating a stand alone program?

Ok, I have finished a GUI in VB. Now, how do I go about making that a stand alone program or a .exe so that i can run it without having to bring up VB 6.0? I would like it to be it's own program now. What is the next step to compile it? Thanks.

Send a message via ICQ to Onslaught
click on the "File" option on the menu bar and then select the "Make project name" option.

This will allow you to compile your application into an exe. Now, to distribute this application you will have to use some form of installer generator (like the package and deployment wizard or the visual studio installer, I recommend the vsi) and create a package to distribute.
