I am makng drastic revisions to a very complex program written in VB6.

I need to have copies of the old version and the new version open at the
same time. How can I change the background color of the old version only, so
as to avoid a disasterous mistake? If I go to Tools>Options, the color
changes apply to all instances of VB6. I want to change the color for only
one of the instances.

Thanks,

Lenny

You might want to make the old version read only to prevent
any accidental changes.
