Can I disassemble my executable?

I lost everything with a hard drive virus and I did not have back-ups. Is there any way to disassemble my executable written in vb6. What to do?

A Yes or No answer doesn't qualify for the points.

Thanks

No I lost everything, even my executable but I had it online available for download so I downloaded it myself.
I've replaced my hard drive and I have no virus any more. I spent 2 months writing the code for this application and I dont want to start all over again if you can relate to that.
I will check out your suggestions, I assume I can find these tools on the internet.
I will respond
thanks

vickjam,
Do you mean disassemble your exe back to VB code ? If so there is no disassembler for any version of vb past 4.

mcrider

hes is right... There is no disassembler for VB6... Sorry!

infact - vb has never really had a extraordinary decomp - they usually miss complicated coding out.

just i jest

You mean decompiler, not disassembler.
You can get assembly code from the exe, but not VB instructions.

There is a VB5 Decompiler on-line at http://www.support.ems.ru/~gold/vb5/index.html

The only thing it does is pulls out the forms and controls... It does not reproduce the code behind a control...

Cheers!
