    Resolved [RESOLVED] I broke the IDE

    Hi, I have had two PCs side by side with VB6(SP6) installed and running perfectly for many years. Yesterday I fat-fingered the keyboard and missed the File menu and probably tapped some unknown toolbar buttons. Now the File > Make Project.exe menu is disabled. I have no idea why, I can copy the project folder to the other PC and the IDE menus are as expected.All projects on this one PC exhibit the same symptoms.

    I have checked everything I can think of (twice). I know it's a long shot, but anyone have any ideas?

    TIA, Bob.

    Set PC back to a saved point when it worked?
    Re-install it.. select "Repair"?

    Arnoutdv, you're my lifesaver today. I didn't even know the option existed. Many thanks, Bob.

    Well, to be fair and in all honesty.. You did ask if "anyone" had any ideas. Well, I gave you a couple..

    I NEVER said it wouldn't take some effort on your part.. Lastly I didn't know about the alternative that was given to you that worked. Otherwise, I would have mentioned it. Afterall, you did say "any ideas"..

    but I did try to help you with your question to my best knowledge.
