>Does anybody recall what would cause the Form Designer in VFP 6.0 to think that a form has been changed (aside from having made changes to the form)? I've got a few forms that when loaded into Form Designer, it would behave as if something had been changed when I close the Form Designer (i.e. dialog for saving changes will appear) even though I'd not made any (explicit) changes to the form. I do vaguely recall this was linked to some properties (or perhaps combination of properties) being set with certain controls, and the fix for it was relatively easy (e.g. reset the properties) -- but I can't remember what the solution for it was.

I think it's something about ActiveXes or other COM objects, some of their binary signatures change whenever you open the class/form for editing (regardless of VFP version) and if you save it it is detected as change and the save really happens. The SccTextX had a solution for this (i.e. I think it ignores this difference when comparing text versions).
