I really have no idea about Visual BASIC 2005 Express.
I use VB6 Enterprise.
Is VB 2005 Express any different? What makes it different and better(if it is...) than VB6?

Well, better is a subjective term...it has some additional features, some more inherent classes (including some fairly robust ones for database interaction)...to be honest, I haven't really explored it...only know the basics of it.
