I hadn't thought about that.
I'm trying to duplicate a form with a lot of objects in it. I hadn't thought about creating a prg file(s) for the form and all the objects in it, then converting the prg file(s) into vcx file(s), then running a prg that puts them all back together. Lot more work than I planned on, but I'll try and remember that next time I need to do something like this.
