    Thanks agains. I have tried this with VS 2005/2003 and do not get this problem. I also have run this in administrator mode even my rights are admin so I should be permitted to do everything. I have checked the file are their attributes are not read only. At the moment I am only developing GUI.

    Well, i'm sorry i can't seem to figure out your problem. I tried to google it as well but only came up with: "the designer is currently in read-only mode" Maybe you should try to contact VS support? It may be a problem only relevent to your computer system. Sorry that i can't be of any more assistance. Someone else (prefferable more experianced than me) HELP OVER HERE!! lol.

        Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with the error I am getting when I try and run my application in VB 2008. "Form1.vb cannot be modified at this time" I have tried Tools/Option/Build and Run/ Don't save any changes. This does not work and I would want the choice to save changes everytime I run my app. When I put say a button on the form the first time, it works. If I add another say button then that is when I get the problem. Basically adding anything to a form gets the error.

              Here is a copy of the message. All I done to the form was add/move an extra button. --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- The file C:\Temp\DeleteThis\ABCDEFG\Form1.vb cannot be modified at this time. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

                ok i think i have a answer for you if you create a project and just run it. vs saves it in this temp folder as a read only file and if you try to edit it after you ran it then it can]'t be edited anymore try running the project first time then stop the program then save it as a other project name in a other folder then try editing it again if it still gives you the same error try saving it in a folder you choose from the start and then run it then try editing it again

                      Hi, I found a workaround. If you run the app from the code viewer then it works. If you run the app from View designer then you get the message. I am just going to go with running app in code viewer for the present time. I also managed to install SP 1 but it made no difference. Thanks again for all your help.
