What is a .vbp file

[Dan]

Hi all

This must seem naive but what is a .vbp file, when do I
need, how do I load, and how do I create one?

I can figure the extension refers to Visual Basic Project
but beyond that I haven't a clue.
Whenever I come across such in download collections
(with .frm .frx .bas etc) I am unable to load or do
anything with them.

TIA for enlightenment
Dan

If you have Visual Basic installed, you can open the VBP file and it
loads the project so that you can work on it. If you don't have VB,
then it is not much use to you. The other files, .frm and so on, are the
files for the forms, modules, etc which make up the project. Most of the
files are text files so you can always open them in Notepad if you want.

Dan,

A ,vbp file is created when using Visual Basic, the stand-along programming
tool. These files contain information about the VB project that you are
creating, and have nothing to do with Excel's VBA projects.

Thank you both for taking the trouble to reply.

That explains why I can't do anything with a .vbp in Excel.

Can't believe I never knew there was a stand alone Visual
Basic app.

Thanks again,
Dan
