oops, i deleted my form...

[andymannewbie]

I deleted my form file(s) for a project...Is there any way that I can use the EXE file(that I made with the make EXE command) to somehow extract the forms or something????It kinda sucks because i wasn't done on the program...

I'm affraid you can't. You could use some kind of recovery programs to recover deleted files (unless you have formatted you hd)

[andymannewbie]

what kind of recovery program???

[QWERTY]

This for example http://www.undelete.com
or some of the McAffee programs http://www.mcaffee.com

ok thanks

[andymannewbie]

know where I can get it for free by chance???

[QWERTY]

It's hard to find, but go to http://www.downloads.com and search for Undelete. You should get bunch of demo programs. Download one of them, recover your files and uninstall the Recovery program (that's what I would do if I didn't want to buy a RP)

If you have vb5 which i do it makes a bunch of tmp files of all your code and windows etc. in:

C:\windows\temp\

I figured this out after deleteing the files while in VB and all my code dissapeared!

I lost the coolest program I ever made to the
*code-disappearing-virus*
that pissed me off for a while
I didn't even program again for like a year
I had spent months working on this MUD
one day I started it up and everything was *gone*
the forms were still there but there was no code in a lot of them and absolutely no text in my labels..
Little did I know it was Microsoft's dumass fault
Maybe Cleansweep erased em too.. who knows, wish I'd know about that earlier..
