semi colon in name eg. .mpp:2

Hi Guys

This has been drinving me crazy for a coupleof weeks now & I cant seem to
find out why !!!!

I have a VBA code library that works fine in Word & Visio & I have now moved
it to project. After changing activedocument - activeproject it is all
working fine except.

After the normal events fire like project_open & active etc. etc. etc. a
"copy" of the project file is opened with the .mpp:2 & the original file
called .mpp:1.

So I end up with 2 files open :2 a clone of :1

This is very hard to search for in google etc.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening ?????

TIA

So what code runs immediately before these copies get created?

Hi Rod

I had spent some time on tracking this down

The last piece of code is the event in the activate event, this creates a
menu option with sub options.

This menu code I have had for years now & it works fine in Word & Visio.

It also does not create a cloned file filename:2 when the application is
deactivated & then re-activated so it is not in this code.

My question is still what does the :1 :2 mean on the end of the filenames ?

TIA

Hi Rob

Well here I go again !!!!

I reply to your post & this just goes missing

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 ????
