How do I configure VB6 and Windows XP so that when I dbl-click on a *.ba=

s =



file (associated with VB6), VB6 opens that *.bas file automatically in t=

he =



IDE.



In that case, the VB6 common behaviour consist in creating a new project=

=



in which the *.bas file is located, but this file is not opened.

So what DOES happen?

What happens is: The VB6-IDE keeps empty instead of opening the file.

I have to open the project-tree and double-click on the .bas file so tha=

t =



I can see what's inside.



It is annoying: It is as if, when opening a Word document, one has to =



always go into the Options-menu and check a specific option before beein=

g =



able to see the document.



What I hope is there exists an undocumented registry key that enables th=

e =



automatic opening of a single file in VB6-IDE.



A little bit like this very useful registry key:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\MDIMaximized=3D1



But I know, I am taking my dreams for reallity...



Thank's for answering anyway.
