DataMiser, it is complete other PC.
But the problem is exactly the same.
On the older computer i also am working almost every day
with VB6 and this problem has never been there before.
So, i am getting verry confused and desperade.
If you open the form now with a text editor is it showing the 0 in the various settings?
If so have you tried manually changing them with a text editor, saving, then reloading the project?
This is relly weird.
Like DataMiser I'm now using VB6 since more'n ten years, carrying it from Win98 to WinXP to even XP64 and did never encounter such a thing...
Let's ask where are the buttons and labels and all the intrinsic controls located?
They are in the VB-Runtime library, as I think. It wa MSVBVM60.dll as I recall..
or maybe tere is a VBRun300.dll???
What happens when you reinstall VB6? If there is already afile of this name, will the installer overwrite the existing file?
AsI recall MSVBVM60.dll was already part of XP wen installig it. If ths file bears an error there i one thing you can do.
Search google for "VB runtime files" which will lead to a place on micrsoft where you can download VBRun60.exe which will reinstall the rntime files on your computer. Maybe that helps...
The VB300 is pretty much obsolete, used only for programs written in VB3 so should be of no concern here.
If the same thing is happening on a second machine then I would not suspect the VB runtime files at all, Perhaps a 3rd party dll or ocx, or an addin that was installed, or perhaps a virus of some sort that happens to be on both machines. Beyond that I can't think of anything.
btw I am assuming that these projects that were tried on different PCs were also saved to different {local} hard drives. If not then there may be some other things to look at.

When i open the form with a texteditor left and top is on 0
When i change the zeros settings and i load the form, the message is showing
Error during loading. So i would say is must happen showing the form.
Attached form1good. This is when saving and everything is fine.
Then i close VB6 and open vb6 again and load the project.
Showing the form the message is coming. Saving the form result is the Form1False. The zero's are back.

It indeed is in the MSVBVM60.dll
I did re-install VB6 a few tims the last days.
I asume that while de-installing all the installed file are removed.
Strange is further then when i put in a sub with:
form1.label1.left = 100
form1.lavel1.top = 200
this works ok.
WoF i would like my typing and Englisch was as good as yours.
DataMiser 08:10 and 08:15
Indeed, i installed VB6 on different machines and to their own (different) drives.
One machine runs under Windows XP Home and the other one under Window7 Home Premium.
It started last Sunday and i cannot remember instelling a third party programm, dll or what so ever.

I installed it with Admin rights.
I am sorry, but i do not understand what you mean with UAC
As far as i can see, all ather programs are working fine.
My virusscanner is AVG and Windows Firewall
Service pack 6
The VBruntimes would not have been uninstalled as they are part of the windows XP install and may be used by many other programs.
UAC=User Access Control on windows Vista and windows 7. Installing with admin rights with UAC enabled[defaul] means that you right click on the setup and choose run as admin otherwise you are not really installing as admin even though your account is set to have admin access.
Different machines, different OS, different drives, different file sets, hmm. Not a lot it can be.
So, finally its working again.
I cannot tell you what was exact the problem.
This weekend my son came to assist me.
We again tryed severel things but nothing was ok.
Then we made a backup and cleaned the pc. Formatted the drives
en installed XP again. And after that VB6 and SP 5 and SP6.
Same problem.
Then my son changed the msvbvm60.dll on my computer with the one of his computer. (same date)
Now it seems to work properly.
I am hopefull and walk araund with a, very small, smile.
Thanks you all a lot for your support.
Regards,
Herman
The smile is completly gone.
Same problem again.
I found a verry strange thing.
There is a module in my project call mdlAlgemeneSubs. (enclosed)
When i open it with a texteditor the text is complete.
However, when i open it in VB6 there is only one line.(enclosed AlgSubsText1)
What happens here and why?
Regards,
Herman
