I want a Visual Basic 6.0 web or desktop applications to communicate with a
Visual basic.NET web or desktop applications. I will also want visual
basic.net web or desktop applications to communicate with Visual Basic 6.0
web and desktop applications.

For this communication to occur, is it better to use .NET remoting or COM
objects?
Would you point me to a URL where I can see what are the pros and cons for
using each option? i would also like to know why you prefer method over the
other.

Thanks!

You would use COM. .NET remoting requires both sides of the
communication to be .NET apps, VB6 knows nothing about Remoting.
