Invalid File Format Error When Creating EXE

**Wrestlecar Webmaster** · Oct 14th, 2000, 12:06 PM

I am using two active X controls, CommonDialog 6 and MS FlexGrid. The program complies, but will not produce an exe. When it goes to make the exe, an error occurs...."Invalid File Format".

Any Suggestions...

This is using VB 6.0.

Anyone ever gotten this error??

Nope . Never seen or heard it before . I don't think anyone else has either . Search the MSDN or http://www.microsoft.com

Search the Microsoft support KB. I saw one article that said something about a bad
resource file and another one said an .OCX may not be registered.

I have not registered any OCX's, what is that and how do I register them? I am using the flexgrid control and common dialog, and common controls...

Well an .OCX is an ActiveX control. Since you are using the standard controls supplied with VB,
this is probably not the problem. Please look at the link to Microsoft, I have found a lot of
answers there and I'm sure you'll find it.

I actually found that i just removed the OCX from my application, and used a newer version...

eg:

Went from Common Controls 5.0 to 6.0 and that fixed the problem.

Hope this helps,
