    Saving

    I just started VB and well every time I save and come back I can't open my files. Sometimes it says "rex string" and other times I can see the code but can't run it and other times I get a huge program that has a lot of random stuff.

      A few questions...
      • What version of VB is this?
      • Can you provide details about exactly how you are saving and loading?
      • Did you really expect a response within a quarter of an hour? This site brings together people all over the world, who volunteer their time to try and help. You can't expect them all to be sitting around waiting for your question to pop up.

        Thanks, I am using VB 2005. When I save it gives me weird stuff like a form called what the form was named then .rex. Sometimes it looks like an Access file almost, or sometimes it looks like my program wih a lot of stuff on it but with a a bunch of quotes or maybe the debug. Sometimes I try and run the program; I get the last program I ran.

          Sounds pretty nasty. I'm a VB6 developer myself. Hope someone more familiar with VB 2005 can help out.

            Hi,

            Looks like you are opening the Form1.vb file through Windows Explorer. Try to Open the Project File in the VS2005 IDE.
            You need to open the files having ".vbproj" extension.
            Forms here will be having 2 files with same name and different extensions.

            Form1.vb
            Form1.resx

            So, when you simply try to open the .vb, you will get that error.
            Take care while saving the forms, save all the related stuff in the same folder.

            Regards
            Veena
