System error

[rathipriya_c]

Hi

I am suddenly not able to open my visual basic project with some activex controls. While opening, I get the following error message :

"System Error &H80004002 (-2147467262). No such interface supported --continue loading project ?"

On clicking OK, the form opens, but the embedded activex controls do not appear. What does this error mean ? I have even tried reinstalling Visual Basic twice. None of the ActiveX Control projects open.

Register those .OCX-files again.

Okay, there was the answer, now I tell you the reason. If you've installed something lately, there may be installed files which replaced old ones. It's sadly usual that old versions replace new ones. That's why OCX-thingies may get little mixed up.

Fixing a project: Make a new project that has the ActiveX controls and save it. Then open the project which has the problems in notepad and as well the project you just made. Then just replace the lines which load the OCXs with the new ones.

I suggest you take a backup before doing this...


Of course you could start a new project and add the forms, modules and classes into it...Maybe easier...I don't know.

Anyway, hope this helps,
