I use to do a bit of vb6 a long long while ago as a kid and now I am just looking for a good module to get me started on creating a few apps for pal, can anyone help me out with a basic api module and maybe a few old examples

The forums are full of examples and source code of applications for pal.
Lokk at the Tutorials subforum. Try VB 2008 Paltalk Integration for a start.
