ide - VB6 Editor changing case of variable names

Question

I'm not much of a Visual Basic person, but I am tasked with maintaining an old VB6 app. Whenever I check out a file, the editor will replace a bunch of the uppercase variable names with lowercase automatically. How can I make this stop!? I don't want to have to change them all back, and it's a pain to have these changes show up in SourceSafe "Differences" when I'm trying to locate the REAL differences.

It is changing it automatically in the definition, too: Dim C as Control becomes Dim c as Control. Dim X& becomes Dim x&. But it doesn't do it all the time; for example, three lines down from Dim x&, there's a Dim Y&, uppercase, which it did not change. Why's it do this to me?

Since I always find this thread first looking for a solution to messed-up casing, here is one Simon D proposed in a related question:

If you just need to fix one variable's casing (e.g. you accidentally made a cOrrectCAse variable and now they are all over the place), you can correct this for good by adding

#If False Then
    Dim CorrectCase
#End If

to the beginning of your module. If you save the project and remove the statement later, the casing remains correct.

Using Excel VBA I often accidentally change all Range.Row to Range.row by carelessly dimming a row variable inside some function - with the help of Simon D's solution I can fix this now.
