I love the fact that Paul finds finding a bug FUN in what has to be a million pages of code by now, and I grunt at finding a lost separator in six lines of code.  ;D

Just a fun fact I have to share with you:
When is the last time any of you used CARBON PAPER?. Those sheets you put in between sheets of paper for duplicate copies?
Wel due to us being the new Venezuela in state collapse, we had to revert using COMPUTERS and Printers to a 1991 method of handwriting with carbon paper!
That is FUN. Finding carbon paper in 2022.
 ;D  ;D  ;D

Government forms filled out by hand still use a form of carbon copy. You get a copy, and a bureaucrat then fills out the fields in their computer database. This method is mostly replaced with optical scanning, or with an electronic system that cost millions to develop, and millions more to upgrade.

p.s. I"ll never forget the wonderful fragrance of homework hot off the mimeograph machine.

I remember those!! With the wax sheets!
The things is we HAD all the modern stuff. As good as anything in Europe.
Then came the rot and everything was destroyed by crooked politicians.
To go FROM a computer system to WAX paper and carbon sheets is not funny.

Luckily I like to stock and I found an entire box KOLOK carbon paper from 1991.

Hope you guys have a better day than me today!!

My experience with carbon paper goes back to when I dated a girl who transcribed data from carbon paper to punch cards! I was very young  ;)
I would 'occasionally' have to wait in the principal's (Head Master) office and watch the girls cranking the mimeograph machine printing magenta-coloured school bulletins - very interesting, I could spend hours watching that machine work.

I'm still using the WinFBE 3.0.5 interim release Paul posted just before releasing 3.0.6 and it's working very nicely with some large and small projects.
The Autocomplete for ListView is missing .Top and .Width though the properties do work when manually entered - no big deal. So far Autocomplete picks up a form's name from any project module like frmMain.btnExit.Text etc.
Next up will be to upgrade to 3.0.6.
