• RobertRFreeman How do you change the name of projects? How do you edit the projects list that comes up in studio 2005

So I figured all I need to do is change the name of the project and everything should be good. I can find no way to change the name of the project and the listing in the list that comes up when you first go into VB 2005 of the availabl ...Show All

• rafarebuscando Retrieving window name

  I'm working with the AppActivate function to change the active window to whatever one the user needs to use next. However, its very annoying to have to type the name of the window in for the user.
