Visual Basic may cause a General Protection Fault (GPF) when you select
multiple controls on a form and choose Align/Lefts from the Format menu.
CAUSE
One of the controls selected on the form handles a COM object incorrectly
by implementing IPersistStreamInit::Save and returning E_FAIL. This has
been reproduced with custom controls built with MFC, ATL, MarcWan
Framework, and the JavaVM.
RESOLUTION
Install Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
STATUS
