Well on my way to psychotic...

[Whisper]

Seems I'm always getting stuck in these jams...

I spent 2 weeks working on a program, created the .exe file, and LOST the .frm file. Now I'm going nuts because I need to edit it before tomorrow afternoon. Anyone know where I can find a free decompiler?? I'm using VB6 Pro...

Pleeze help before I go completely insane...

Decompiler? that will not help you get your form back.

You should have been doing regular backups of your src code, you're a fool if you didn't!

No he isn't a fool, this kind of stuff happens all the time. What you have to do is get an Undelete program. Try going to http://www.recover98.com and downloading their software. This happened to me before and this is the program that saved my life.

[MrShickadance]

I believe it is foolish because, this sort of thing can be avoided.

If you are going to work on a big project, you need to take the measures to insure your work/time is not wasted. It is poor programming practice to not back up you src. I see it as being just as bad as not commenting your code; it's the lazy way to program.

How do you expect someone to leran from a mistake that that person has never experienced? I'm sure you've made mistakes before too that in your current attitude you would deem foolish.

I personally don't want to waste my time and backed up my code after every single time i save it.

[MrShickadance]

I have done this before, and I learned from it the first time. Whisper makes it sound as if he has done this multiple times by what he states in his first sentence.

I guess I'm the fool.

[MrShickadance]

Megatron, when did I say back-up ever time you save?

Usually when you save something, you're updating it and fixing many loose ends. Almost 1/2 hour to an hours work. Well, at least for me.
