Program Scenes in Chapter 9 uses module Wipes.bas which was inadvertently saved in the Ch7 directory. If you load the program from the CD or if you copy both directories to your hard disk, Visual Basic will look in the Ch7 directory and find this file with no trouble.

If you want the program all in one place, copy it and Wipes.bas into the same directory and open the project. Visual Basic will remove the reference to the form because it cannot find it. Press ^D and add the module to the project.
