Merged projects

I am working on a visual basic project that another group is also working on. At one time we had had identical copies of the same project. They have added some additional functionality and so have I.

I wonder if it is possible to just copy the text from one FRM file in one project to another FRM file in another project and expect to run the same.

In other words, if a function like this:Is copied over from one FRM file to another FRM file in another project just by simply copying the ascii text, will this function be called at runtime as the first project operates? If so, how is this possible? Visual Basic is not like C++ where we can see how the user interface handles calls to a variety of functions. In Visual Basic, the mechanics of this is handled by code that is not ascii files and is hidden from the developer.

You should look into getting some file management software such as Microsofts Source Safe or Merant Version Manager.

And your function won't automatically run unless you call it from somewhere else in your code. In addition, code may depend on some other outside objects being installed to operate properly.

There are open-source version control systems also, like subversion and cvs, but if you can get sourcesafe it integrates easily into VB
