I've never seen this happen and I have several very large resource projects including multiple languages. I did have a weird thing happen this week. All of a sudden for one of my projects I couldn't change resources at all. The .RC file wasn't read-only (checked it), it was ANSI, etc. It just wouldn't undo anything I tried to do, like if I dragged a button somewhere else it would just pop back to where it was originally. That was pretty maddening, but it started working OK again today. Go figure...

I haven't heard about any bug-fix releases, but I wouldn't be surprised if a SP version is out soon. That happens often a few months after a big release.

Tom/Michael:

It does? Where is the service pack for VS2002? Or VS2003? I must have missed them.

I use VC7.1 for a big non-GUI cross/platform contract project, and I love the improved compiler, but for my company's major MFC project I see no advantage to moving away from VC6. From time to time I make a test build in VC7.1 and fix any errors or warnings, but that's it. I have thought of doing my production builds with VC7.1, but is there any great advantage?

My copy of VS2005 came today, and I'm sure I will play around with it. But from what I am hearing, the GUI sounds even more unstable than VS2003. It's all so disappointing. VC8 would have been such a great product by now if they had stayed with the old GUI.

I am actually thinking of getting the Intel compiler. Michael: your company has not considered that?
