The best way to do this is to carefully design your application.  VB is not 
very much help.  Two resources for this are 
1) article in WinTech Journal in July 1992 by John Socha
2) book by John Socha from which the above article was excerpted which
devotes a chapter to the issue

Let me strongly reccommend the book: "Learn Programming and Visual Basic
with John Socha" SYBEX ISBN:0-7821-1057-6.

This book is not really a beginning programming book.  It has three
sections.  One for beginning programming with VB.  A second that develops an
address book and discusses producing applications.  The third part is a
toolbox of advanced techniques.  It includes a chapter on writing programs
that work with all displays and includes tips and code on using many Windows
API calls in useful ways.  The book is not for getting an overview on VB
or learning programming.  Rather, it is a good problem solving book for
those who already know VB.  BTW, John Socha worked with Peter Norton on the
classic Assembler Programming books.  He even made the cover with Peter on
the second edition.  He saw VB and decided to write a book about it.
