VC++ 6 hangs while saving file

[Holger Stein]

Hi Gurus,

I have a problem I can reproduce, but I have no clue...

After adding arbitrary (working or not working) code to my source-file, I cannot save it anymore as VC++ gets stuck - nothing to do...

When I restart VC and load my workspace saved at a point short before crash, I can save things again...

Just while writing this, i tried to add the following:

test; //save->works
test1; //save->works
test2; //save->works
test.a; //save->stuck

So the problem rises when adding arbitrary code with the "."-operator (as "test", "test1", etc. doesnt mean anything in my code and it really does no difference to the problem even if it is declared )

PLEASE can you help me?
Perhaps is there a restriction, how many projects maybe in a workspace with a restriction of total objects/code/whatever ?
I have put 22 Projects in one Workspace... each using an increasing number of files... could this be a problem?
The projects are Win32-console and Win32-lib projects...

Thanks
Holger

I transferred parts of my files/projects to a newly created workspace and all works fine now... I think there's a limitation, but I want to know what it is...

Any idea?

I had the same problem. Thank goodness that I stumbled onto this post. I too could randomly not save files - it would just lock up. And sometimes I couldn't open a file either. The cursor would just change to an hourglass and it would sit there - forever. I tried the suggestion above and it worked!

Hello darkwings,

i'm glad that - even after 5 years! - someone found my post and answered to it ;-) . Even better i find the situation that my noob-knowledge has helped you with your coding.

best regards - and may it help others too in a further 5 years ;-)))

Try this : Close all projects and delete *.opt & *.ncb.
Open project and save. It worked fine.
