Problem with form names in VB6

[Ken01]

Sometimes when I open an (old) VB6 Project and make changes to a form (e.g form1.frm)
instead of saving the changes to form1 the system insists on renaming the form
usually to something like 1.frm or &.frm.

Is this a sign that the Project has become corrupted and can anything be done to remedy it ?

I put the word "old" in brackets because generally it ocurs with a Project that hasn't
been touched for quite a while. It doesn't happen with new projects.

Do you use your VB6 IDE on Windows 7 (or older) operating system?
I've had a whole bunch of issues with anything newer than Windows 7

Have to say that the idiosyncrasies of the IDE on W7 and later mean I now only run VB6 on an XP VM (since VB6 programming is now just a hobby for me, not part of my working life)

I am using W7. On an older PC with Windows XP the issue doesn't occur.
