Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Please make sure that there are no User or System Data Source Names in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

Start a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is added by default.
From the Project menu, click Components, and select the Microsoft Remote Data Control 2.0 if it is not already loaded.
In Property browser, click DataSouceName. This will result in the following run-time error message:
"Class not registered. Looking for object with CLSID {00000000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
