    Saving your work in progress

    I've noticed that when you create an exe, you can assign version numbers - a most admirable thing.

    Is there a feature like this you can use when you are still coding (ie saving your first attempts).

    Thanks.

    Well now, come on. I mean, say you decide on a major change to the coding. It might be wise to keep your old stuff.
    Do folks just assign a different Project name?

    You can use SourceSafe if you have it installed or any alternatives like SVN, etc...
    So, basically you need any file repository system that offers version control.

    If it's not an option then simply save a copy before making any changes.

    Thanks, Rhino
    Yeah, we used SourceSafe at work. I'll have to look for a free something for use at home.
    Just thought that there would be a feature for it in VB that I had not seen.
    Cheers!

    Typically a Project will/ should be contained in its own Folder so just use Explorer to make a Copy of it (in the same containing folder) and optionally Rename the copied folder to e.g. 'MyProj B4 WhateverNewFeature' or 'MyProj DateTimeStamp'

    I thought I already mentioned it but in fewer words in post #4:
