    I am staring at a huge VB6 project. I need a tool that will compare the current release to the last release source file by source file. Basically I need to know what's been changed since the last release. Can you recommend a tool that does this? Wayne

          Yeah, it would be really nice if someone came up with the versioning features that Word had , for VS6/VS .NET. Unfortunately, they haven't so what I do is use WinDiff.

Check-in both versions to your favorite source control software (mine is CVS, but most VB programmers find it cumbersome. Actually, they find almost anything that isn't VB cumbersome). After all, like most good programmers, you probably only work with a source control software, right? :-D Kant wrote: Actually she replied back to me "You shouldn't fix the bug. You should kill it"

                  Do you have a recent starter in your department? If so dump this task on them - that way they are kept busy and learn how your app works at the same time....unless, of course this was just dumped on you? I'll get my coat...

                    Windiff c:\newcode\*.cls c:\oldcode\*.cls This will list all the files and the ones in red will be the ones that have changed. You can then select that file and view the differences.
