I have a problem with the following situation:
My project file structure looks something like this
.\\Workspace.dsp
.\\Project1\\Source\\scrfile.cpp
.\\Project1\\Include\\hdrfile.h
.\\Project2\\Source\\scrfile.cpp
.\\Project2\\Include\\hdrfile.h
Both projects contain a .cpp file and .h file with exactly the same name and are both included in one workspace.
The problem lies in the shortcut alt+O which switches between corresponding header and source files. However in my situation the switching is always done to the files of project1. So switching from project1 is ok, but switching from project2 always results in the corresponding file of project1.
Can something be done about this problem? |

i am guessing this is with VC6 since you have listed a dsp file. are all of the cpp files part of the same workspace? or do you have more than one workspace open?
which version of VAX are you using? do you have any other plugin's installed? |

This is indeed with VC6.
Each project has it's own project file ( project1.dsp, project2.dsp ), both projects are added to a single workspace file. So only one workspace if open with both projects.
Besides VAX 1276 I have also installed the WinTabsExt (3.10) extension. |

Since cpp and header do not live in the same directory, VA X searches /I for a matching file in which the implemenation might exist. As you have discovered, VA X finds a matching file first in Project1, regardless of project in which header is found.
Unfortunately, this one is not an easy one to fix. |

This is a major drawback.
The result is that on a dayly bases we are jumping to wrong files.
This feature is one of the most powerfull features that the VA has.
please fix it or at least give us a work-around.

| do you have the option to rename some of the source files, to avoid the confusion? |

Well in fact it is possible off course, but it would take up a lot of time to adjust the filenames, adjust all include statements and our sources are stored in a source database which needs to be adjusted.
So it is possible, but I doubt it that I am the only one with this problem. So it would be great if you guys could fix this.
How come a file which is deeper in the directory structure is found first before a file which is almost in the 'same' directory? |

| at a guess, this has something to do with how VAX scans the /I list it gets back from the IDE. |
