Comprehensive session log covering today's work on the Valley Wide
Plastering app modernization project. Recovered Darv's VB6 source from
a set of backup rotation drives, including the production Orders_10A.exe
from the 97-Server\VWP2\ iteration workspace. Resolved the 4-year gap
question: no .vbp source newer than 2020-06-09 exists on any of the
three rotation drives; Darv worked in rename-and-try on the compiled
EXE only from 2021 onward.
Includes quick-resume instructions for tomorrow when the next drive is
connected.

Drive 3 (12 TB, 11.99 TB used, only 43 GB free) — third VWP backup
rotation drive. Per Mike, all three drives are rotation copies; content
largely overlaps.
Net-new content vs drives 1 and 2:
- D:\WIN7-Orders\Darv-2\VWP1.VHDX (117 GB, 2023-09-01) — Hyper-V disk
named "VWP1" in a Darv-2 folder. Likely Darv's later workstation.
Strongest candidate for finding any 2021-2023 source code that
postdates our 2020-06-09 ORDERS_C.vbp baseline. Not copied.
- D:\WIN7-Orders\WindowsImageBackup\VWIN7-PC\...vhd (22 GB) — Windows
Image Backup of the VWIN7-PC machine, dated 2023-08-31.
- D:\VWP-FIN\ (~44 GB) — Finance machine backups + RAR archives. Not
relevant to Orders modernization but useful for QuickBooks context.
SourceSafe search:
- 1224 SourceSafe-related matches but ALL are Visual Studio install
directories (Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\) and .SCC sentinel
files. No srcsafe.ini (actual repository) anywhere on this drive.
The SourceSafe repo is on a different drive (likely Darv's personal
drive, not in the office rotation).
Source code:
- No .vbp newer than 2020-06-09 baseline. Same TEST_VWP.vbp scaffold
from drive 2 (2021-08-16, 810 bytes) present here too.
Updated .gitignore: added *.vhd (was missing — only had *.vhdx).

Recovered Darv's VB6 source for the Valley Wide Plastering Orders
application from the D: backup drive (label "Backup", 8 TB, 5.3 TB used).
This is the first time we've had the actual source — prior session only
had a single frmPayroll.frm from the AD server.
Three project variants identified across two snapshots:
- Full-Project/ (2,129 files, 124 MB) — D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Full\Project\
- Kingston-Project/ (2,189 files, 130 MB) — D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Kingston\Project\
- Source/ (170 files, 559 MB) — D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\Source\ wholesale
- SOURCE-HOLD/ (3 files, 1 MB) — D:\Office-Estimates\Darv\SOURCE HOLD\
Latest ORDERS_C.vbp date is 2020-06-09 (Kingston snapshot). Production
Orders_10A.exe was live as of April 2024 — open question whether newer
source exists on other backup drives Mike will scan next.
Also includes per-category and per-keyword analysis CSVs from a WizTree
file-list export, plus the analyzer script that produced them
(re-runnable for the next drive's CSV).
VMs (VWIN7-DW.vdi 8.3 GB + XP-for-ORDERS_copy.vdi 2.8 GB), the live
VWP.mdb, and the 393 MB raw WizTree CSV stay on disk only — gitignored.
