Hello all,
        I did a project a while back.  Everything worked fine.  I
needed to make some change to it a couple days ago... After I was done
with the change and rebuilt the executible, I got an error, missing
reference.  The Crystal report export was missing.  I tried add it back
in, it tells me that can't add the reference to the specific file.
Anyone has any idea why??  I am using vb6, crystal 9 and windows XP.  I
did installed Crystal 10 after I finished that project... In order for
me to install Crystal 10, I had to remove the 9 first.  To fix the
problem, I did remove the crystal 10 and reinstalled the 9, hoping to
fix the problem but it did not work....

Is that a control? or a DLL? If it's a control, exit VB, open the VBP file
in Notepad and look for lines that start with "Object = " and contain
".oca". No ".oca" references should ever be stored in the VBP. Sometimes,
for some reason, VB stores them there and it requires that you manually edit
the VBP file, remove any ".oca" lines, reload the project and re-add the
control(s). This happens to me quite a bit with the Common Dialog control
for some reason.

The best way to do it is to create a new project, drop the controls on the
form, save it and shutdown VB. Now, open that new VBP in Notepad, copy the
valid "Object =" lines to the clipboard, open the "problem" VBP and paste
those over (replacing) the "oca" lines.

fwiw, this is yet another function I'm working on for ComGuard (below)

<sigh> sounds like DLL Hell. Try uninstalling again, this time, don't
re-install without running RegClean or a similar utility that will get rid
of any left over gunk in the registry. Reboot, run RegClean again. Look for
left over traces in Program Files, etc and delete them.
Run RegClean again... VB "lives" in the registry so it's important to keep
it as clean as possible. Eventually, RegClean will come back and say that
there's nothing left to clean. At that point, try re-installing the version
you need.

See this post if you don't have RegClean (MS Freeware)
