BUG: SourceSafe File Not Found Error When VB Deletes .FRX FileLast reviewed: May 13, 1997Article ID: Q148892 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIn a Visual Basic project, if a form at one time contained graphical information and that graphical information is removed, then the .frx file may be deleted by automatically Visual Basic, or deleted manually by the user. This causes the following error message to appear in the Source Code Control Results window when you check the Visual Basic project back into SourceSafe:
File "<path to .frx>.FRX" not found CAUSEVisual Basic stores text information for a form in the .frm file and binary information for a form in the .frx file. Every time it saves a form, Visual Basic determines whether or not the .frx file is needed. If it is not needed, the .frx file is deleted. The problem is Visual SourceSafe stores the current and historical copies of the Visual Basic form (.frm and .frx) files. Visual SourceSafe does not detect that Visual Basic has determined that the .frx file is no longer needed. Visual SourceSafe sees the missing .frx as an error.
