FIX: Error Loading Repository Add-In in Non-English Visual Basic 6 .0 Versions (223132)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q223132

SYMPTOMS

In the French, Italian, or Spanish versions of Visual Basic 6.0, when adding control details to the repository, the following error message occurs:

in French:
"Ordinals 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113 introuvables"
in English:
"Ordinals 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113 not found"
If no controls have been added to the form yet, the Add-in should load without error, but if a control is subsequently added to the form, the same error occurs.

CAUSE

In the string localization process, some strings in repvbrc.dll that should not have been changed, were localized; specifically, STR 1, 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113. That change produces the error.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
