Hi bigcrack-ga,
   I assume you are looking for a tool that will help you
comment/uncomment blocks of code quickly in VB6.
   This functionality is already built in into VB6. You can add a
button to the toolbar, that will enable you to comment out the
selected lines of code. To get this button onto the toolbar, follow
these steps :
      - Right-click on any of the IDE's menubars, and select Customize
from the resulting shortcut menu.
      - In the Customize dialog box, select the Commands tab.
      - Select Edit from the options in the Categories listbox.
      - Scroll down the Commands listbox until you see two options
called Comment Block and Uncomment Block.
      - Drag these to commands onto the IDE's Standard toolbar.
    To use these commands, simply highlight a block of code, and then
click the command (Comment or Uncomment) you wish to execute.

The problem with the above buttons, is that they provide no keyboard
shortcuts for their task. If you need keyboard shortcuts for
commenting/uncommenting block of code, you should try out MZ-Tools :
         - MZ-Tools 3.0 : The all in one addin for Visual Basic
           ( http://www.mztools.com/ )
           This is a free addin for VB6, that gives you to
customizable keyboard shortcuts for commenting your code.The addin
adds an 'MZ-Tools' item under your Tools menu, from which you can
access its various features. The addin has a huge list of features to
simplify your VB6 programming experience.

Hope this helped.
If you need any clarifications, just ask!
