VB6 and True DBGrid 6 Issue.

I had a crash recently (I believe motivated by the last windows update) in which all the grids in my program suddenly disappeared.

In my haste in trying to recover from this situation I re-installed VB6, loaded my program and began replacing the lost grids.

Now there are two grid components offered by True DB Grid one being an OLE capable grid and the other that supports the VB6 built-in data control.

Under COMPONENTS I inadvertently added the OLE component to the project and starting replacing the lost grids. Half way through, I realized that my code was NOT built around the OLE Control. Now my question. The VB6 IDE does not allow me to remove the OLE version of the control because it is "IN USE" despite my having removed all the grids.

So, How do I disable the OLE component in the list of components?

Thank you for any light you can shed on this problem.

I believe That Windows Update, creates a restore point, that you could go back to. (don't fix a mess, if you can avoid it).
And Also I think the update page (via settings) has roll back options

I would edit the project .vbp file directly, removing the line with Object={guid_here}#1.0#0; ole_true_db_grid.ocx or similar

This will render your grids to pictureboxes. Again!
