I don't think the windows forms classes in mono are stable enough yet in Mono for the forms in a VB app like yours. Although not opensource, you could try REALBasic. They have a utility to help migrate Visual Basic applications cross-platform.
Yes, I suspected as much, but if I use GTK which runs on windows and linux also?
Now, about the database, I'm not sure. I think SQLite works on both Windows and Linux (there's also a mono/C# api for it). IIRC PostgreSQL is cross-platform and, again, IIRC mono has an ODBC implementation which should allow you to connect to virtually any database.
Well, else what can I say? If you've coded in VB6 before, stick to VB.Net. Mono has the mbas compiler which allows you to compile vb programs. C# and VB.Net, from a structural point of view are similar, VERY similar, and 99% of the times converting from C# to VB.net and vice versa is extremely easy, so you should find enough examples on the net.
Hope this helps... Good luck!
