SYMPTOMS
An application error occurs in a Data Project when the toolbox is not visible and the default form is clicked.



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

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

For additional informationabout Visual Studio 6.0 service packs, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

194295 How to tell that Visual Studio 6.0 service packs are installed



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.
