Converting to VB.NET

Experts,

I'm in the process of converting a VB6 app to VB.NET.  This is one of the errors I get:

Error      1      Unable to create a manifest resource name for "ctlTaskFilter.resX". Could not find file 'C:\Users\Curt\Documents\My Desktop Apps\Knowledge Tracker\KnolwedgeTracker.NET\ctlTaskFilter.vb'.      KnowledgeTracker


I don't have a file by that name anywhere.  How do I get past this?

You think it's better to just start from scratch without converting the old code?

Maybe I can convert this app little at a time, with the .NET forms calling VB6 forms when needed.  Is that possible?
No, it's not possible.

Tommy1b:  That is one of my biggest obstacles.  The current app runs over Access, and I want to convert it to VB.NET or C# and run it over SQL Server.  It might be more work that it's worth.
 
jpaulino:  I know what you mean because on my last job (at the Justice Department), they were still using a HUGE VB6 program that I had to maintain.  They had plans to replace it with web-based .NET, but I got the impression they were going to start from scratch.
