    Resolved [RESOLVED but still open for ideas] Ideas to break a huge form into smaller ones

    I'm back in VB6 again!

    I have this HUGE form with hundreads of controls and code. This form is mainly an assembly of 3 loosely related parts that could have been devided into 3 or more smaller forms.

    Previous programmer tried to put everything in a single form and it became a debugging nightmare. He didn't follow any standard naming conventions and has used a control array of about 100 textboxes. Each textbox is bound to some data field (from 6 tables). And there isn't a single line of comment to describe them.

    I'm looking for an Add-in that can print current line on debug window when you hit F8. (Or any way to print control flow.)

    I think that way I'll be able to mark the codes and controls needed by each of the 3 main events. That way it will become easy to separate codes from each other.

    Any other tips or ideas ?

    Edit: Wow ! 2500 posts.
