Not really. You can get a very cheap VB version if you are a student from most college bookstores, but I don't know of an independant compiler for it and I doubt you would really want to write VB code outside of its native IDE. It is possible, but it would be more trouble than it's worth in most cases.

Just my 2 cents.

Basic is the language behind VB, just like C++ is the laguage behind Visual C++, Microsoft's program just makes form making Visual, you can do it in raw code.. There are probably programs out there that compile Basic for free.. I've never looked, but you most likely wouldnt get the visual form editing capabilities that Microsoft's Visual Basic gives you. It would be more like mIRC scripting of dialogs.

There are free compilers out there. You can find them by searching google, but I don't know how well they are.
You can write VB code outside of it's native IDE, but I wouldn't recommend it. There is a lot of extra crap that must be written for a VB app if you do it text only. Just open up a form and look at the code that is there.

Here is a link to one site for a free compiler:
http://www.freebyte.com/programming...rs/envelop.html

Here is also what some of the code looks like for a form. This is what is generated from the IDE, along with the frx files.
Code:
VERSION 5.00
Begin VB.Form frmMain 
   Caption         =   "Form1"
   ClientHeight    =   2430
   ClientLeft      =   60
   ClientTop       =   345
   ClientWidth     =   3150
   Icon            =   "frmMain.frx":0000
   LinkTopic       =   "Form1"
   ScaleHeight     =   2430
   ScaleWidth      =   3150
   StartUpPosition =   3  'Windows Default
   Begin VB.PictureBox picNormal 
      Height          =   615
      Left            =   600
      Picture         =   "frmMain.frx":000C
      ScaleHeight     =   555
      ScaleWidth      =   555
      TabIndex        =   2
      Top             =   720
      Width           =   615
   End
   Begin VB.PictureBox picQuery 
      Height          =   615
      Left            =   2160
      Picture         =   "frmMain.frx":044E
      ScaleHeight     =   555
      ScaleWidth      =   555
      TabIndex        =   1
      Top             =   720
      Width           =   615
   End
   Begin VB.Timer Timer1 
      Left            =   240
      Top             =   1920
   End
   Begin VB.Label Label1 
      Caption         =   "This form is never seen by the user."
      Height          =   375
      Left            =   120
      TabIndex        =   0
      Top             =   120
      Width           =   4335
   End
End
Attribute VB_Name = "frmMain"
Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False
Attribute VB_Creatable = False
Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = True
Attribute VB_Exposed = False
Option Explicit
