Copying Forms in vb6

  #1  
Dec 21st, 2007
I copy a form in explorer and even gave it than a slightly different name than an existing form. When I try to add the form to the project, it gives me an error and says a form by that name already exists. How can I get around this?

I don't understand your problem. You should describe little more detail.

Hi,
Open the new form in a new application and change the form name preperty and save it. After that add it to your application and it will work. Or you can change the name property of the original form.
It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...

Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.

The Property View

FORM1(Form1.frm)


What you see on the left side is the Name property of Form1.frm

What you see on the right side is the actual name of the file. Right Click and use the Save As to give it a different file name.
