VB 2003 - IDE won't allow form edit

I created a form with a tab control and buttons on each tab. I saved the changes and when I went to edit the form again, all editing has been disabled. I can not delete, copy or even move any of the controls on the tabs. I checked to see if the form was somehow marked as read-only and it is not. I checked to see if the controls are locked and they are not. Has anyone encountered this in the past

    Ken:

    Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

    I am not using an Source Control and I checked the service pack and I am at SP 1.

    Does the issue still exist after you restart VS

  • Chris Honcoop

    Any possibility this form is inheriting these controls from another form That would make them appear locked...

    Thanks to all of those who made suggestions.  They were all helpful

    I have solved this problem. 

    For lack of anything better to do, I deleted all of the tabs on the tab control except the 2 that had controls on them.  Once I had deleted those tabs, things worked as they should.  I re-created the empty tabs that I had deleted and things continued to work as expected.  Must have been something funky in the Tab Control.

    Are you using any source control If not maybe Visual Studio 2003 service pack 1 will help.

    Yes. The problem is persistent even after re-booting the machine. The problem follows the file. I re-named the file to main2.vb and changed the class name using Notepad. Loaded main2.vb into the IDE and main2.vb displays the same behavior as main.vb. The only option available on the pop-up menu is 'View Code'.
