    Viewing form problem

    As I said in my previous post I had to do a complete system restore and I'm finding that some files are missing.

    I've got the projects loading ok and I'm able to view the forms code but when I try to view the form I get
    "There is no editor available for form"
    "Make sure the applcation for file type .vb is installed"

    This happens even when I try to add a new form to the project. But if I create a new project and add a form, the form designer works just fine.

    I must be missing some type of config file but what?

    What might not be happening is when you try to add a new form, the designer file might not be auto-generating as it should. What you should do is click on show all files and check to see if the designer file is there or not.

    dday9, Thanks for the reply. It was actually doing it on all forms not just new ones.

    But once I was able to rebuild the project, the problem went away. Don't know why, but it worked.
