SYMPTOMS
In Visual Basic version 3.0, the code modules contained in a form are
occasionally reordered. This problem is very noticeable when the form is
under SourceSafe control because it appears as if the entire Visual Basic
form has changed.
This causes problems for SourceSafe because when this reordering happens
there is no easy way to see just the code changes that were made by the
developer.
RESOLUTION
Visual Basic 4.0 does not reorder the modules in forms.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
This problem was corrected in Visual Basic version 4.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
This reordering of modules in Visual Basic is not a common or consistent
occurrence. There is nothing that can be done to prevent this from
happening in Visual Basic 3.0.
