    What tools can I use to find out the reason for this error?

    This has been happening since today morning. I get this error when I try to open my project.

    Creating a new project is not an issue. I suspect activeX controls are causing this issue.

    Our entire development is carried out on a Citrix Terminal Server. I went to my profile folder and deleted all the files. This has not helped. It still throws up the error.

    I am thinking of downloading FileMon

    Do you know of any other tools that could be better and easy to use?

    You are right about it - control may need to be reinstalled or at least re-registered.
    Also, (and out of curiosity only) why are you developing over citrix?
    All development should really be done on your development machine so you won't "stress" server.

    Ouch! It's very unusal (to say the least ) policy.

    Not to mention, very frustrating.

    Well, it's just a job and nothing personal, right ?


    Anyhow, did you try reinstalling that component?

    The windows server admin reinstalled MS Common Dialog. That has resolved the issue. He copied over the same files from another server on a farm.

    Suprisingly the issue only seemed to affect the IDE and not the executable on the same server.
