MOD2000: Prompts to Save Project When Closing, Adding to Visual SourceSafe, or Running Package and Deployment Wizard (236520)

SYMPTOMS

When you close a project or the program that you started the Visual Basic Editor from, you may receive the following message:

Project path\projectname has been modified. Do you wish to save the changes now?

-or-

When you start the "Package and Deployment" Wizard, you receive the following message:

The active project must be saved before it can be packaged and deployed.

-or-

When you try to add a project to Visual SourceSafe, you receive the following message:

Please save your Project, 'projectname', before using source code control.

You see one of these messages even though you have not made any changes since you last saved the project.

CAUSE

You see one of the messages listed in the "Symptoms" section if you have not saved the project since you closed an Addin Class window, a Data Report window, or a Data Environment window, or if you still have one of those windows open.

RESOLUTION

To prevent the messages listed in the "Symptoms" section, close the Addin Class window, the Data Report window, or the Data Environment window, and then save your project. You can then close the project or program, add to Visual SourceSafe, or run the "Package and Deployment" Wizard without seeing these messages.
