DLLs seem to be missing

[amcrae]

I had a working project earlier today, it has not changed since that time. However when I try and run it now, it causes compile errors when I use Masked Edit boxes or flex grids in my code. I checked the references for hte project and found that there were no references to those controls. The worst part is that I cant find the required references to add them back in.

Can anyone open up VB and check the name of the DLLs that i would need for these controls. Then I can check if the files still exist on my computer.

Thanks

Not sure I understand this one. The items are under components not references. Are you sure you still have the components on the form.

you have a valid point regarding where to look (ie in components and not references) I checked there, the components are in the project and on the form, but if I try to run or comile the project i get errors whenever i use a variable of type MaskEdBox or MSFlexGrid

I have no idea why this is happening, I have to document the code today, and it will be substantially hard if I can get it to run

[HeSaidJoe]

could you shoot in some code to see what is happening.
When you say variable, does that mean you are trying to reference one of these objects by a name stored in a variable.
Ie.
dim x
x = MaskEdit1
x.caption = "help"

if that is the case, you can't do that...it won't work.

My code was working fine earlier today,

dim x as MaskEdBox

is essentially where the problem is

I can't see that working..
the ocx is MSMASK32.OCX

flex is MSFlxGrd.ocx

I still have no idea what the problem was but when i copied the modules and forms then created a new project to put them in, adding the same references and components it worked.
