I am using vb5 and vf. vf will open the vb5 .rc file ok and I can edit it fine. But when I save it, vb5 can no longer use it.
I guess I need to update to.. what? vb6, vbNet?
Also I want to start using a source control for both vb and vf. So which version of vb should I get?
Any ideas or tips please.

AFAIK not much has changed in resource editors from Visual Studio 5 to VS 6 -- except that support for newer controls and styles was added. VS6 may add new styles into .rc file not recognized by VS5. So, I'd guess you need VB6 to interoperate correctly.
However, you may try to copy the file VCINCLUDEAfxres.h (maybe also winres.h) from VS6 into VS5 directory. That should enable that VS5 can read VS6 .rc files. Of course, make backup of these files first. I didn't try it myself, so it's just a guess -- experiment a little.
