Stoopid IDE problem

[filburt1]

This bloody button won't go away no matter what I do. Every time I start the IDE it shows up again. Oh, and it crashes every 10 minutes or so.



It's VB6 SP5 on 2000 SP2, so any ideas?

What method are you using to try to make it go away?

[filburt1]

Editing the toolbar and dragging it off. It works for literally every other button but this one.

[MartinLiss]

If it's any consolation, the same happens to me.

[filburt1]

It is.

Are the IDE crashes a problem too?

[filburt1]

I submitted a bug report to Microsoft to see if they will do anything about it. I doubt it just because they're pushing .NET so much.

Unfortunately, the Data View button is considered an addin and is RELOADED (ouch) at every VB session.

It's also annoying because it doesdn't appear in the addin manager, which means that you can't get rid of it! Ahh!

It shouldn't crash VB though (at least on my 98 SP1). It's probably that VB took all of your available mem/vmem. I used to get crashes (unrecoverable!) from merely starting VB until I reformatted my HD and completely wiped out+reinstalled windows (but did not reinstall all of my software), so I postulate that it's the memory that made VB crash...after all, 2000 is more memory-intensive then 9x.
