SYMPTOMS
When trying to load the Visual Basic CtlPlus sample that ships with Visual Basic 6.0 you receive the following error:

\CtlPlus.ocx could not be loaded- Continue Loading Project?



CAUSE
The Ctlplus.vbp and the Testctlp.vbp project files reference the built version of the Ctlplus.ocx file. However, the sample does not come with a built copy of the Ctlplus.ocx file.



RESOLUTION
Make the following changes to the Ctlplus.vpb and Testctlp.vbp files. Note that the Read Only attribute must be cleared on these files first.

 Open the Ctlplus.vbp file in a text editor like Notepad. Remove the "CompatibleEXE32=CtlPlus.OCX" line from the .vbp file. Save and close the file. Open the Testctlp.vpb file in a text editor like Notepad.  Modify the Object reference line to be the following: Object=*\ACtlPlus.vbp instead of      Object={782B8EDB-9338-11D1-B06B-00DD01144174}#1.0#0; CtlPlus.ocx  Save and close the file. It now opens without giving an error.</li></ol>
