A simple question...do book marks only work within a single file? If I
have 3 forms, each a .vb file, seems that bookmarks cross the forms do
not work. Only within a single form. Is that the way it is supposed to
work or do I have something set wrong?

TIA

Thanks Carlos. I will check it out. The documentation does say that
they are in one file. In VB6 it was across the whole project. Too bad
they did not implement it that way.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the bookmark feature is a wonderful
feature, if done propertly! I'm using JBuilder does it properly IMHO, you
can set them across, even across projects (now THAT'S COOL! :>), you can
number them and index back to them by their number! The only thing I
haven't been able to get to work consistently is the saving of them across
JB instances, but at least they work across files. I hope they fix that in
VS2k5!

If I remember correctly, VS.NET bookmarsk had several drawbacks: they only
work in the current file and they are lost if you close the file and open it
later. My add-in (below) provides a Favorite Code Elements feature if you
are interested in an alternative.
