Re: Help needed with a Visual Basic Designer Module

I am not familiar with the error you describe but so please disregard if I am completely wrong :-)

A few years ago, I purchased an ActiveX control (Sheridian DataWidgets Grid) which I often use in my VB5 project. Since then, I had
to re-install win98 on a few occasions. Then I would re-install my applications such as Visual basic, but when I tried to load one
of my VB5 projects, I would get a similar error simply because I had forgotten to install that ActiveX control that my project was
using. All was ok after I installed the ActiveX control.

So if you're working at your own computer with VB6, and if the project makes use of a control that is not included in VB6, you will
probably need to install it..?

HTH,
Guy

I recently was hired to do some development on an old Visual Basic 6.0
program that several different consultants had worked on from time to
time.

When I tried to open the source code project, it worked fine for the
most part until it tried to open up one of the Designer Module objects.
The error message I received is as follows:

Line 2: Class {C0E45035-5775-11D0-B388-00A0C9055D8E} of control DE was
not a loaded control class.
Line 0: The file C:\KCBM\DE.Dsr could not be loaded.

I'm not a VB expert, but I believe it wouldn't open due to one or
missing registry entries as the other Designer Modules that did open
successfully all seemed to having corresponding entires in the
registry.

My questions are as follows:

1) Is there a way of manually reconstructing the required registry
entries needed in order to be able to open this object successfully?

2) Would this registry entry likely be on the person's computer that
most recently did any of the development work?

3) If this entry does exist on the prior developer's PC and they refuse
to provide me with it (as there was some bad blood between the company
and the devloper) do I have any other options or workaround?

It should also be noted that I was able to manually edit the source
code for the object (with notepad) but it's about 239K in size.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
