MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a new Data Project in Visual Basic 6.0.
  2. Make sure that the Visual Basic toolbox is NOT visible within the IDE when Visual Basic loads. If it is, close the toolbox, exit Visual Basic, start it up again, and repeat step 2.
  3. From the Project window, double-click the "frmDataEnv" form to view its design.
  4. Click on the form.

    This causes an Access Violation in VB6.exe.
Notes
  • There is no problem with clicking on the form if the toolbox is shown in the IDE.
  • This occurs only in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE and not at run-time.
