SYMPTOMS

When you try to drag a Code Snippet, a Function, a Module, or a Class Module to a different category in a Code Library, the code is not moved or copied, but the category that the code resides in is moved to be a subcategory under the category that you are trying to drag your code into.

  1. Select the code element that you want to change, and on the Code menu, click Modify.
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. To add an additional category association for the element:
    1. Click the Add button next to the Categories list.
    2. In the Add Categories dialog box, select the category that you want to add an association to, and then click Add.

      NOTE: If the category that you want to use does not exist, click New to create a new category.
  4. To remove a category association for the element:
    1. In the Categories list, click to select the category that you want to remove.
    2. Click the Remove button next to the Categories list.
  5. When you finish changing the category associations, click OK to return to the main window.
