When the location or size of the project window changes, these changes are
sometimes not reflected in the .vbp file.

The dimensions are always saved in Visual Basic 3.0.

Saving the project by clicking Save Project As on the File menu retains all
changes in size and location of the project window.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Visual Basic version 4.0. We are
researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

3. On the File menu, click Save Project to save the default form and project.

4. Resize and/or move the project window to a different location on screen.

5. On the File menu, click Save Project to save the project again.

6. On the File menu, click New Project to remove the previous project from
  memory.
