What tools can I use to find out the reason for this error?

This has been happening since today morning. I get this error when I try to open my project.

Creating a new project is not an issue. I suspect activeX controls are causing this issue.

Our entire development is carried out on a Citrix Terminal Server. I went to my profile folder and deleted all the files. This has not helped. It still throws up the error.

I am thinking of downloading FileMon

Do you know of any other tools that could be better and easy to use?

You are right about it - control may need to be reinstalled or at least re-registered.
Also, (and out of curiosity only) why are you developing over citrix?
All development should really be done on your development machine so you won't "stress" server.

Organization policy. :sick: :sick:

Ouch! It's very unusal (to say the least :rolleyes: ) policy.

Not to mention, very frustrating. :mad: :mad:

Well, it's just a job and nothing personal, right ? :)


Anyhow, did you try reinstalling that component?

The windows server admin reinstalled MS Common Dialog. That has resolved the issue. He copied over the same files from another server on a farm.

Suprisingly the issue only seemed to affect the IDE and not the executable on the same server.
