Why would a VB6 .frm file ever be full of binary?


I am sorting out some .frm files in a VB6 project. I have found some of them are full of binary data. Clearly these wouldn't compile and I discovered that they are not being referenced by the project but are just sitting in the project folder doing nothing.

Why would .frm files end up having binary data in them?

Note: These are definitley .frm files. I know that the .frx files contain binary.


Solution

  • VB3/VB4 used a binary form/code file. Either that or they're just corrupt.
    You can probably confirm with the modified date.
