I am having a problem with the VB6 "Recent" tab. When you
are switching between projects and creating executables,
you will notice that when you make a project (after the
first project is made) that the "make path" is relative to
the path you last created an executable to instead of the
project's path. I am noticing this in Window's XP.
Example:
I have a project c:\test1\1\a.vbp
I have a project c:\test2\1\b.vbp
The relative path (Path32 in the project file) for both of
these is "..\1"
I open a.vbp
I make a.exe
I use the "Recent" tab to open b.vbp
I make b.exe
b.exe gets created to c:\test1\1\b.exe, not into c:\test2\1
\b.exe as I would expect.
Note that if you do an "Open," you don't have this
problem. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way
commondialog boxes are handled and paths are saved in XP?
Anyone have a similar problem and would like to share a
solution/workaround?
