INTRODUCTION
When you work with a Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 project on a network share, or when you compile the Visual Basic 6.0 project to a network location, you may experience performance problems or build problems.



MORE INFORMATION
Visual Basic 6.0 is not specifically designed to access projects or to build projects that are stored on a network drive or on a network share. Visual Basic 6.0 does not perform any special operations for handling network drives and network shares. Visual Basic 6.0 does recognize if a file is on a network drive or if the file is on a local drive.

Microsoft recommends that you use source code control software to obtain a local copy of the project files that you want to use with Visual Basic 6.0. Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is source code control software that is optimized for use with Visual Basic 6.0. There are other third-party source code control software packages that are available, but the third-party source code control software packages may not be optimized for use with Visual Basic 6.0. Therefore, you may experience performance problems. In this case, contact the vendor of the third-party source code control software package if you need help.
