I use PanelBuilder32 (version 3.81.00) and my question what are the diferences between PVB (PanelBuider32 Document ) and the PVA(PanelView Terminal Document ) files. FYI,they have the same names, and when I open each of them ,it opens same project. Thank y'all

Using programming terms, the 'PVB' is the source file and the 'PVA' is the compiled version ready for downloading to the target display or storing on a PC card for insertion into the display. The PVA file apparently is designed to be completely reverse compiled by the software.
TWControls
unused tags and descriptions are also eliminated from PVA files

I believe there is also the option of not including tag names in a PVA etc to make the file smaller and quicker to download.
