My VB6 project contains a reference to another VB6 .EXE, added through
Project-References.

The referenced EXE works fine, and so does my project. When I close my
main project down and re-open, the referenced EXE is listed as
missing, so calls to it will not work. I have to remove the missing
reference, press OK, go back into the References list and add it in
again. Everything is then back to normal.

Anybody know why the project is not storing my EXE reference? The EXE
is not being altered in any way between closing and opening the main
project.
