The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Control Creation Edition for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 5.0
This article was previously published under Q182153 SYMPTOMS
When launching the Visual Datatools Add-in, the following errors may occur:
Object variable or with block not set
followed by:
Visual Basic can not open the Database Tools project file. Please delete
<project>.dsp and try again.
CAUSE
When the MSDN application is launched, it overwrites the LocalServer32
value for the MSDEV.APPLICATION CLSID, which is found at the below registry
location. It replaces this value with a path that points to the Infoviewer
application (IV5.EXE):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
CLSID\
{FB7FDAE2-89B8-11CF-9BE8-00A0C90A632C}\
LocalServer32
RESOLUTIONWARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly or creating your own .reg files
can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall
Windows to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems
resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at
your own risk. Change the Registry entry containing the incorrect path back
to the correct location of the Developer Studio Shared IDE (MSDEV.EXE)
after running MSDN.
The following registry information contained between the asterisks can be
modified to contain the correct path to MSDEV.EXE on your machine and then
saved to a file with a .reg extension to aid in changing this registry
value. After creating the file, double-click on it to launch the Registry
Editor, which will merge this information into the Registry.
