    Is there a list of VB file types? Our source control bods are very keen on documentation and we have to compile a list of all files with filesizes, dates and descriptions - so I need to know what .PDM and .DDF files are.

    Try this: go to Explorer, click View and Folder Options. Click the File Types tab. Find both files you're looking for. Lots of info there. (I think)

    FILES

    I opened them in Notepad - the PDM is kind of to do with the P&D wizard, it lists the steps that go into making the package. The DDF is for MakeCab - which I should have realised as I spent 3 months working on an app which uses this to compress files!

    Top TIP:

    Put a shortcut to Notepad in your SendTo folder.

    .FRM, .FRX = User interface forms and data.
    .BAS = Modules
    .CLS = Class modules
    .CTL = User control
    .PAG = Property Page Dialogs for Active-X Controls
    .DOB = Methods, properties and user interface for Active-X Document.
    .DSR = Active-X Designer
    .RES = Resource file
