What is VB Run v1.0

In short, VB Run is a utility that issues the File/Save Project and Run command in VisualBasic 3.0 for Windows programming environment.  Although VisualBasic 3.0 has an option to allow the programmer to save his/her project before running it in the VIsualBasic environment, I still found myself using the File/Save Project and Run command sequence.


Caveats

The following are some limitations/caveats that I feel the user should be aware of:

VB Run v1.0 checks the window text (i.e, caption) of VisualBasic 3.0 for Windows to determine whether the environment is in design mode or run mode.  Since there are utilities that my change this window text at some time interval, VB Run v1.0 may not be able to determine the current environment mode and will issue a warning message accordingly.

VB Run v1.0 was written and tested using VisualBasic 3.0 for Windows.  I havent tried running this on earlier version of VisualBasic.  If you find it will work on earlier versions, please let the author know.  The author can be reached by email at grtorlba@seattleu.edu.
