Below are the most frequently asked
questions (FAQ) about Active Maker:
Who can use this tool ?
Anyone who writes complex application
with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 or later can use this utility to minimize their time while
rebuilding the whole projects.
What are the functions of Active

all components of the user's projects in right order and re-build changed component(s) or
the whole project automatically by clicking one button. Also it helps to track component
references and dependencies. The user can simply add sources of project's components and

What are the features of Active
Maker ?
The main feature of Active Maker is
to analyse Microsoft Visual Basic projects and place (and later build) them in an
appropriate order to minimize time required to re-build a part of or a whole multipart
project. Besides it helps to track components' references and dependencies. User can
simply add/remove *.VBP file(s) and the utility will show all referenced ActiveX controls
and components for each project. Changing properties of one or more projects of the group
is also possible to in few steps via the All Projects menu. And of course the program
allows to build project(s) in a single environment (i.e. you simply click the Build
toolbar button and all your projects will get built in a short time - and don't bother to
run Microsoft Visual Basic environment for each project !).
