VB proj file locations

VB6 to VB2005
I have 3 major apps and each app has 3 forms and 3 bas modules located in
their folders.

But these 3 apps share an additional 11 forms, 4 cls modules and 4 bas
modules located in a common folder.

On the first app that I converted to VB2005, everything ends up in the same
folder.

I'm a one man team so I don't need a checkin/checkout type of thingy.

Is there some way I can move the common vb files to a separate folder so all
three apps can use them. I keep them as Read only so I know if I try to
change something on one app, I have to change it in all 3 apps.

Hi Galen,

>to a separate folder so all three apps can use them.

I suggest you can copy those common VB2005 files to a separate folder, then
remove those files in your upgraded VB2005 project. Now you can add those
common VB files as links to your new upgraded VB2005 projects. Please refer
to the following MSDN2 documentation for how to add existing items as links
to a project:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9f4t9t92(VS.80).aspx

Another approach is to make those upgraded common vb file as a separate
VB2005 project. If so you can use those files in your other 3 upgraded
projects via the project reference.

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!
