When the location or size of the project window changes, these changes are sometimes not reflected in the .vbp file.

Saving the project by clicking Save Project As on the File menu retains all changes in size and location of the project window.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Visual Basic version 4.0. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
