Saving a vb6 program to a new computer
Saving a vb6 program to a new computer
(OP)
In saving a program from one computer to another the newly saved program will not load since the project tries to find the loaded forms by referencing the original source.
How do you save a program to avoid this?
Any help would be appreciated.

The SETUP option is best since it will handle all these details for you. Good luck!

Thanks again for your responce.
I guess I wasn't clear about the problem.
The transfer of the program I meant was of a program still in the development stage, not compiled.
The second machine also has a fully functioning VB6 development environment. I want to continue development on the second machine, but in attempting to load the transferred program, the project can't find the forms.
What's the best way around this?

If you do not have a copy of VSS, have you tried recreating the exact path/file structure on the second machine.
If neither above will work for you, copy all the forms and modules/classes to the new machine, create a NEW project and add all the forms, modules/classes, etc. into the new project - don't forget to set the project references (you can use the other machine to locate all the needed references). This is the painful but foolproof way to get it to work - in the process, you may find an outdated or missing DLL/OCX/OLB...
