General VB Question

I am presently working on some software that I would like store my daily changes as a separate vb project in a different folder resembling the date. Now when I copy and move the contents vb seems to always use the forms from the previous folder in that directory. My question is how do I take a days worth of work and version it to the present date and make it a separate project the previous days changes.

Thanks in advance.

Don't open your *.VBP file through VB. Just double click it in Windows Explorer.

In the long run, I think you would be better off by purchasing a configuration management tool such as
Visual Sourcesafe, MKS Toolkit or PVCS. Yes, it is a big bite out of the wallet, but if you use the tool as
intended it is well worth the expense.

It has been my experience that every programmer needs (or eventually will need)
a source code librarian, and a third party setup kit (I dispise the setup kits Mickeysoft always ships with
VB. IMHO they are worthless at best and dangerous at worst).

For saving dated versions, a simple-but-effective way is to use WinZip or PkZip to zip the entire development folder into a file with the desired date as its name, such as 990721.zip. PVCS is expensive, and its Windows implementation is a pain - (I use it every day)

To save an individual part of your project, like a form, do as Save As.. for each. A lot of trouble as a routine, but a quick way to backup something.
