Little VB 5 annoyances...
1) Why must VB always load every form and class module into the IDE each time I end a project??? This takes a while if you have 30 class modules and 12 forms!!
2) Whenever I end my project, the IDE will stop the program, load each form and class mod into the IDE, and then bring one particular form to the front, and it is always the same form. No matter which form was the last that I worked on, it always defaults to that one particular form???
3) While I am running a project, if I am sitting on a code window and I Ctrl-Break, sometimes the IDE jumps to a calling form or module. This is annoying because now I must put myself back in the module that I was in before I did the Ctrl-Break???

3 it jumps back to whatever line of code you happen to be on. If this is on a different line, in a different module from the one you're looking at, it will jump away from it. Just imagine if it didn't do that, and you hit Ctrl+Break, then you'd have to search the little yellow arrow to find where you are - that would be even more annoying!
2 - make sure you have all your forms and code modules closed before you start your project.
PS - if you're already closing all your forms and code modules, 1) could also be caused by a read-only .vbw
delete .vbw file
Yes. The only purpose of the .vbw file is to keep information of which code windows/forms etc you have open. That's all. It can safely be deleted.

1) Then I would have to close the forms and mods EVERY TIME I end my project! That would be an inconvenience.
2) Hmmm....my .vbw is not read only, but good comment.
3) Duh! Ok, that was a dumb question, but it is still annoying!!!

You don't necessarily have to close them when you end your project, close them as you're developing when you don't need them any more.

hmmmm...it seems that every time that I refresh this page, and I get the "repost form data" question, then my question is posted again! Sorry for the "annoyance"!!!

The answer to "Repost from data?" is "No". Use the "Reload ?" link at the top or bottom of the page.

A. Use hardware solution for 1 and 2: Biiig monitor
B. or add-in solution (button to close all vb-windows) - waty's VBIDE Utils has this

1) not necessarily, instead of closing 'em all you can delete the .vbw file every time (the so-called overkill solution :-)

Oops! Forgot to accept the answer!!!
Hmm, it looks that razorzej just stole our suggestion
I did mention read-only .vbw files alright as a possible cause of the problem, but razorzej took it and turned it around to come up with a solution, which is excellent and well worthy of the points.
I agree, it's great combination of mentioned suggestions.

2 Could it be your .vbw file is read only?
3 dunno....
