semi colon in name eg. .mpp:2 - Reply to Rod Gill

Hi Rob

Well here I go again !!!!

I replied to your post & it just goes missing

So sorry to muck you around but I started a new post.

The activate event runs immediately before the filename:2 appears.

But this code is working fine in Word & Visio as it is only creating a menu
with a number of options.

So it cant be this code

Plus it is only after the project opens the 1st time that this happens, if I
ALT -TAB to another application & ALT - TAB back which fires activate then I
dont get filename:2.

That is why I need to know what the deal is with the cloned filename:2 ????

TIA

Sorry, I can't say anything without seeing the code. You are probably right
about it not being the activate code but please post it anyway.

From memory :2 is a new window that is a copy of the first.

Hey Rod

Pasting in the code would be a waste of space, it is literally pages of VB
because the menu options are built from Local & Master configuration files.

I have discovered a couple of interesting points.

1. This only occurs when you image activate project by double clicking a
project file.

2. If project is running & I open the project files the "cloning" does not
occur.

From what I have found I believe that this is a bug with project as my code
does not have any ".opens" so how could the code be opening a clone of the
project file.

Plus this code has been working in Word / Visio for years !!!

does your code do a WindowNewWindow command?

This creates a :2 duplicate of the activeWindow

Hey Rod

No mate it does not

I have actually searched the project for this & other "strings" like this
eg. open, plus I got really paranoid & exported the modules, classes etc. to
the disk & searched the files seperately.

Again, I am starting to think this is a bug with the image activation of
project !!!

I have a few other ideas which I will try in the near future & give youi the
heads up of my "results" ASAP

:2 means a duplicate window so look along those lines.
