I have searched the registry to remove a reference name that no longer exist
and it is not in the registry, so where are these sorts of things for VB6
kept?

I should add I know where they are usually kept in the registry but there is
an entry that VB reads that is not in the registry. I want to know where
else VB6 reads to add to the references entries...

Project Templates and .Dep files (associated with controls).

But in general for VB to provide the opportunity to select it - it is
registered somewhere. Note: the VB "References" and "Components" are
"interfaces" and interfaces can be supplied by a variety of file
types -.tlb, .odl, .dll, .ocx, .exe, ... . You probably need to be more
specific.

Well, it is one of my custom dll's but the name that is showing is the
project name not the dll component description name as in the properties
pages of the dll. Altough I cannot tell exactly which file it is
referenceing for the reference window does not show the full path.

Did you try looking at it with the Object Browser?

Look in the VBP file, and search the registry for the GUID.

That is exactly my point. In the vbp file it states the correct name for the
description but in the VB reference property page it is listed by the
project name not the project description which is in the vbp.

See if this article provides any help. It shows how to locate the registry
entries and delete them manually:

I forgot, the information comes from the first few lines from the class
source file. VB doesn't view these. Try opening the source files with
Notepad to see them.
