Hi
This seems like it must be a very easy thing to find out but i have been using VB6 SP6 for some time now and keep wondering why this isnt more obvious.

Is there a way I can find the file location of a file (form,module, class module etc) within a project. I have inherited a project which has loads of folders and in each folder are the same filenames. Think over time each file has been imported into the project so its a right mess.

What I have tried:

right clicking - usualy googling

Depends on whether VB6 provides the information when you load one of the files. You can always try right-click against a file name and see what is offered.

This is really testing my memory... hmm...

In VS, if you can't right-click on the file in the project explorer window and see the file path in the property explorer, then you have two options:

1. If the project/solution file is saved as text (was option I think to save as binary), then the file paths should be there; or

2. in VS make a change in each file in the project, add a comment line, then save all changes. Now you have a file date-time stamp to work with...
