Trouble with Form Openning

I'm having trouble even showing a form now. I was playing with positioning and now suddenly the form will no longer load. When it gets to the line frmViewPerson.show I get the following error:
"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index"
Any reason why this would suddenly start happening ? The only thing I've done other then play with location is to change the dataset a bit. This is very frustrating as the form will no longer load even if it's the startup form. Any and all suggestion for fixing this poroblem would be greatly appreciated as I have no wish to looose all my work on this form. Alternatively a pointer to a Visual Source Safe 101 site so I can learn to recover things from VSS when stuff like this happens.

have you tried creating an appmanager as your startup object and running everything from there?

Well thats how it was, then I changed it to just load the form, and then moved the form to a seperate project, and it still doesn't work :( Have to just redo it I guess.

do you use code to show the form, of have you set it as a startup object in the project properties?

Neither works. I tried both. And it's hard to debug because it occurs even before the form load event. At this point it's probably easier to just redo it. It's mostly code anyway. I thing the designer in VS 2005 is somewhat buggy, where datsets, and datsources are concerned.

ah... you're using vb2005... figures. i tried it and concluded it's utterly and completely useless because of the buggy and extremely slow ide :P

perhaps i'll try it again when servicepack 1 is out

good luck to ya :)
