How to save a VB6 form as a template?

How do I save a VB6 form as a template? Is there something in the registry that needs changing?

The low-tech solution is to use Visual Component Manager and check it in, or just save the .frm to a location separate from any specific project.

Hope this helps.

I worked that much out... however... rightclick on the "project", "add form" menu. The saved form is nowhere to be seen.

Try closing and reopening the IDE. It should show up in the "add form" screen.

how silly is that... I saved my form to a previous version of Visual Basic\Templates\Forms. Thanks for help.
