Form (.frm) loading problems

[monu123]

Hi,

The situation is like this.

I have a VB project on a desktop which does not have any CD or Disk drive an want to trasfer the project to a new machine. using internet connection, I emailed to jyself .frm, .prj, .cls, .mdb, .dsr files. In the new machine I downloaded these files to a folder and trying to load the project in VB. What is happening is most of .frm files are loaded under 'Modules' not under 'Forms' in the project. and hence I am not able to open .frm files in the design mode. When opened these 'modules' I could see some system embedded statements. But, at the same time, I could load some of the .frm files to 'Forms'. The forms which have MS chart, MS Grid and other few kinds are not loading.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Forums, monu123!

Each frm file (if form has some custom controls or grafics added) should have corresponding frx file. Did you copy all the files from your working folder? Wouldn't it be better if you simply zip entire folder?

Bull,

Unfortunately your suggestion did not work out. One more clue if that helps for the answer.

My old project was in Win98 and the new project is in XP. I am using VB6 professinal edition. Does this help?

when I copied .frx files, they are showing as Microsoft Visual Foxpro report type in the Explorer

I strongly suspect the problem is with the porting of the application from 98 to XP?
