Applies to:

PcVue version 7.20 to version 9.00. From version 10 onwards VBA was standard.
Summary:

This article describes how to tell from its mimic files whether a project came from a VBA or non-VBA version of PcVue.
Details:

This is useful when a project is stored away from the PcVue software on which it was developed.

Note

To make sure that the project has been saved with a VBA version of PcVue, you can open one of its mimics in an editor, as follows.

Note

Files with the extension ‘.Binary’ that sometimes appear in the W folder contain the binary data for a file saved in ASCII (e.g. ActiveX configuration data that cannot be saved in ASCII).
