We are now currently using vb6.0 and access97 to develop apps for windows.

what IDE should I use to develop an application for this arm linux?

It would be nice if you could suggest me an gui based IDE.

Some said we can cross compile vb apps to run in arm linux is it possible.

Please reply.

If you can run GNOME in that machine, you can use Anjuta as IDE. But it is a C/C++ IDE. If you don't want to program in C, you can try GAMBAS that is a clone of VisualBasic and it can be cross-compiled in linux and windows.
