VB6 read only project file

730 Views Asked by At

I just started using tfs 2012 as source control for my VB6 projects. When I run the project from the VB6 IDE I get a File/Path access error to the VB6 project file. The reason for this is that it is not checked out, and therefore read-only. This seems to be a common problem (with or without source control): when running a VB6 project from the IDE, the IDE tries to make the vbp file writable. For no reason, since it doesn't make any changes to it. Is there any way to prevent the IDE from trying the make the file writable? If not, is it possible to auto-checkout a file in VB6 if it is being edited, either by the IDE runtime or if I make changes to it?

thanks
