VB 6 is compiled into what is called p-code. p-code is a lanuguage that is much closer to machine code than VB. However the p-code is then interpreted. So it is sort of a hybrid. However, the runtime dlls are compiled. So when calling many built in functions the functions are in machine code so net effect is the tokenized p-code runs lots of compiled routines:)
