Hello everyone!
I want to learn more about Visual Basic (Ver.6).
I shall be highly obliged if you could kindly send me some of your VB
codes. I thinck in this way, I can learn better.
Thanking you in advance.

If you can't find any VB codes from the internet, you should really
practice searching before going into programming.

Code is not plural. There are no codes, like there are no mooses or mouses.

English is not my first language, and I did not know this. If not
"codes", then what?
mouse -> mice
code -> ?
Or should I just say "...find any VB code from..."?

Best way to start is to get two books:
1. The MSFT Press Visual Basic Step by Book.
2. Gary Cornell's Visual Basic 6 from the Ground Up.

In this context, code is plural and singular but the normal usage is to say
"vb code from...". Don't worry about it. I've seen codes used before
also.

Yes. Code is both singular and plural. You write code. No matter how many
lines of code there is, it is still just code. You can have 100,000 lines of
code. You can have one line of code.
There's no such thing as "codes".

Actually in some circles there is. In most subfields of CS and/or
programming, people talk about writing "programs". But there are a few
in which they talk about writing "codes" (as far as I can tell, they
use this where most of us would say "programs"). Mostly these seem
to be subfields related to numerical computation and/or scientific
programming. I write papers with someone who has a background in
computational chemistry, and he's apt to produce phrases such as
"in many finite difference codes".
Anyway, to get back to the OP's usage, another way to make the request
is to ask for "VB programs". Then we wouldn't be having *this* argument
anyway.
