Converting adp file to VB 6

Are you checking the whold ADP file or if you are checking the items (forms,
reports, modules) individually? Also, from your answer, I'm not sure at all
if you have checked any of the reference that I gave you in a previous post.

However, with your last post, at least we have now a clearer view of what
you are trying to do.

What are the other ways?
We have several developers working on an ADP file which is checked
into a revision control system ClearCase. Every month, we resynch, so
someone takes last month's release, and merges his and everyone elses
changes into the release. This is painstaking work, and some things
get omitted. One thing that would greatly help with this process is
if we could see everyones work under a diff tool like windiff. In tis
way, we could compare our final version with everyone elses.
Unfortunately, for binary files, reading ADP format is difficult.
I noticed that there is an export/import option. I can take a module
and export it as XYZModule.bas. This would be good, except that when
a file is imported, the names default to something like Module1
instead of our desired and referenced [in other sections of the ADP
file] XYZModule imported from XYZModule.bas One has to manually
rename Module1 to XYZModule, which is a lot of work for 700 modules.
