VB 6 Shows extraneous modules at startup
-
I am condemned for my sins to write in VB 6 for the next several whiles. Every time I fire up VS and select my project the IDE is populated with five modules I have absolutely no interest in seeing, editing, running, or anything else. I have closed them and saved the project more than once, but there they are the next time I start up. Does anyone know where VS or VB saves whatever it is that makes these things appear? Better yet, does anyone know how to make them stop appearing? Thanx, JimT

In the path that you save your project, delete all files whose extension is not as the known formats, e.g. if you have Form1.frm, then (if I remember correctly) Form1.frk or something like that is also created. Also one extra file is created with the name of your project, but without .vbw extension. I can remember that if you delete these files, you would get what you want.

Thanks for your help. I tried it, but that didn't work either. There were two files, as you suggested: .vbp and .vbw. I deleted the .vbw file and the annoying files quit appearing. Thanks again! JimT
