SYMPTOMS

When you try to view the properties of the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET recognizer in the Smart Tags options of a Microsoft Office 2003 program, nothing happens.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the DLL files that support the property dialog box are treated as unmanaged, even though they are managed. The DisplayPropertyPage method works for unmanaged-code smart tags only.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
