Hi Arwan,
	we don't have any VB6 code, but if you look at the several cpp files 
inside the ql/time/daycounters directory in the QuantLib sources you'll 
find the algorithms in C++ for the different day counters (look at the 
yearFraction() methods.) They're mostly formulas, so it should be 
possible for you to read them and translate them to VB6.

Another possibility is to go to the ISDA site (<http://www.isda.org>) 
and look for documentation. They're the organization which defines most 
day counters.
