Unable to Save Typelib Changed in Component Builder (178147)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS 1.0
This article was previously published under Q178147 SUMMARY
If you open a Component Library in Component Builder (CB) and make a change
to it, you are unable to save it. The Save menu item is disabled. Check the
CB title bar to see if the component is either Registered or Read Only.
This article describes a situation in which the reason that a typelib
cannot be saved, is less obvious. A Visual Basic (VB) project is open that
references a particular typelib. Subsequently, the programmer decides to
make a change to the typelib and, in preparation, deletes it from its
Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) package. Therefore, it is no longer
registered. Let's also say it is not marked read-only. The programmer then
starts Component Builder (CB), opens the typelib and changes it. When CB is
instructed to save the typelib, a message box appears with the following
text:
Cannot overwrite ~\<filename>.TLB. Check that the file is not
being used by another application...
You cannot save it because the VB project has a reference to it. There are
two solutions. The first solution is to close the VB project. The second is
to temporarily remove the component as a reference in the VB project. In
either case, you can then save the typelib.
MORE INFORMATION
To save a Component Library when the title bar says "Registered," first use
MTS Explorer snap-in to shut down the server processes, and then delete the
Component Library from its package.
To save a Component Library when the title bar says "Read Only," first use
Windows Explorer to remove this property from the typelib.
