SUMMARY

When you start the 16-bit edition of Visual Basic 4.0, you may get a dialog box with the following message, "File not found: 'COMDLG16.OCX-Continue Loading Project?" This is caused by Visual Basic not properly registering the control during setup.

  1. In the Tools Menu, click Custom Controls.
  2. Click the Browse button and find a file called COMDLG16.OCX. This file is usually located in your Windows\System directory.
  3. After selecting this file, make sure the file is checked in the Custom Controls dialog box before closing this dialog box.
