SYMPTOMS
If you enter the Form Designer (FD.EXE) and edit an existing form that is also currently open by another application (that is, write-locked), when you select to save your changes and return to VBDOS.EXE you will receive the error message

File Not Found

and your work will not be saved.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS, version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The Form Designer should trap for this error and warn you before you leave so that your work is not lost.

The following method can be used to recover your work. The Form Designer creates a temporary file named ~FDFILE.TMP for your form in the current working directory. Your work can be recoved by changing the filename. For example, if you change the filename to FORM1.FRM.
