| 843884 | 2009-12-28 20:04:00 | I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7' My main interest is VB6 programming and have copied all my original files to the new machine.The VB6 programs all work correctly except I cannot save anyof them whether they have been edited or not. |

| 843886 | 2009-12-29 01:04:00 | Are you trying to save to the program directory? Both Vista and Win 7 can have issues with that. | McRuff (12291) | ||
| 843887 | 2009-12-29 02:01:00 | I have 32 bit version of Windows 7. As in XP I would like to save the edited code in the same place it came from. Sorry for the lack of expertise in this field. |

| 843888 | 2009-12-29 03:51:00 | As in XP I would like to save the edited code in the same place it came from. I have had issues with a couple of older programs that try to write to the directory where the program is installed. This is usually C:\Program Files\Program Name. Win 7 and Vista try and protect those files I presume from Viruses. If your data is stored there that may be causing your problem. You could try saving the data into a data directory like Documents and see if that fixes it As a work around to make my programs run correctly I created a new directory C:\Programs\Program Name and installed to that. Those 2 programs work correctly now and Win 7 does not stop them from making changes. |
