Error loading file, olecontrol 1

[Clinkie]

After upgrading to vfp90, all forms with ole containers populated with the MSCOMM Control returns the error loading file - Record No. n . Olecontrol1 Methods:Ole error code Ox80020006: unknown name.

The help file states "the file containing the ActiveX controls was renamed from Comctl32.ocx to MSCOMCtl.ocx".
Is this an issue?

Any info on a workaround to open my forms for editing would be greatly appreciated?

Tried to discover the problem by browsing the form as a table. All seems well with objects, properties, and methods.

Regards;

Can you remove and re-add the controls to the container?

Dave;

Replacing the ole would be my course of action, however the error restricts me from opening the form for editing.

Clinkie,

Didn't you post this same question in another thread? If I remember right, the answer was to open the form as if it was a DBF (using USE), then browsing it to find the record containing the ActiveX control, which you then delete. Finally, pack the file. (Make a backup before you start any of this.)

Sorry I rushed through my reply. I guess when I read you were browsing the form as a table, I had it in my head you had already thought of trying to delete the records and pack the table.
We all know what happens when we ASSume.
