  Got either a misunderstanding or a bug.  When I go into Edit and continue, if I try to edit a Linked Form/Module, the IDE says it is Readonly.  Did I miss something in the manual, or are linked files Readonly except when they are not linked Thanks That was what I had thought.  It would be nice to allow the E&C on linked modules.  I have common modules for many different projects which som ...Show All

• Visual Basic DAta Sources Toolbox functionality reversed

  When I am looking at a code window all of my data sources are visible in the data sources toolbox. When I am looking at a form, the toolbox is empty and greyed out and no options can be accessed. This is exactly opposite from how it worked in beta 1, 2 and RC1. Anyone know what the deal is with this As of right now I cannot drag/drop a table onto a form because all the tables are hidden when I am looking at a form. Thanks, Josh ...Show All

• Visual Basic MS Word Doc Preview Pane & Other API Questions???

  Hello everyone, I'm totally new to programming and even understanding programming with the Windows [Office] API. I've got three questions.
