[RESOLVED] OBJ File??

[khandu]

Hi

While compiling my VB 6 project several OBJ files have appeared

And every time they seem to increase with each compile

I assume these have happened due to icons i have added in my proj

Is it safe to delete them ??? will they keep increasing in number every time i compile ??

Please shed some light on them

thanks

They are intermediate files that are used to create the executable file - and they aren't needed after your executable file has been created, so are safe to delete at that point (they should be automatically deleted for you tho!).


It's not surprising that they get larger over time - they are basically part of the compiled file, so as the source grows (either code or pictures etc) so will the compiled file, and the intermediate files too.

ok.. they are not deleting automatically

i will delete them.. and check

i totally forgot OBJ = object file.. intermediate before compiling..

1 more thing

the forms created are making a corresponding file called

"Visual Basic Form Binary File"

What are those and are they needed??

To make a note only A FEW are making these files.. why is that??

That would be a .frx file, which contains the pictures etc that are on the form - don't delete them as you will lose the pictures etc, and get errors!
