I created my frist lilttle program and saved it. There is 2 files myprogram.vb and myprogram.rexs I have a vb to exe converter but I would rather do it the right way.

How do I compile them to a .exe?? I could not find any option in Visual Studio 2003 Arch. Can it be done via the vb commandline?

visual basic normally has make .exe file option in the file menu.

So first build project.

Then build projectname.exe in the 2003 version.

Edit: I built it and I cannot find a make exe option anywhere..?? this is 2003 visual studio archatect written in this version..

If you have solution just "Ctrl + Shift + B" to build.

Check build menu for debug/release and other options.

And in project (solution explorer) options you can select output name, DLL, EXE, Icon etc.

And this article for commandline compile;

Was this a "hello world" program by chance? I remember starting any programing class, first day they would make us do a hello world program.

No it was not a hello world program, I just finished that one..lol The one I made was slot machine modifyed to show a fine a$$ women when you hit the right combonation. And one of the supervisors was watching it and she said mmmm when the winning numbers opened up.. lol Guess her freaky side was coming out on that one.
