SYMPTOMS
When using the Microsoft Visual Basic sample application OLECont, the following error may occur:

Path/File access error

This error occurs when the sample application is run and the user clicks Cancel when attempting to use Save As from the File menu of the sample application.



CAUSE
The CancelError property of the CommonDialog is not set to True. Therefore, the run-time error is executed.



RESOLUTION
To allow the Common Dialog control to be cancelled during a Save, the CancelError property of the CommonDialog should be set to True. The following line of code allows the Cancel button to function correctly: ParentForm.ActiveForm.CommonDialog1.CancelError = True The line of code above should be entered into the OpenSave subroutine in the ModOLECont module immediately below the following lines of the subroutine, as follows: Sub OpenSave(Action as String) Dim Filenum Filenum = FreeFile 'Insert line here to resolve Cancel button for CommonDialog1 ParentForm.ActiveForm.CommonDialog1.CancelError = True



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce
 Start Microsoft Visual Basic, and open the OLECont sample project. This project should be located in the following directory:

\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\Samples\Vb98\Olecnt

NOTE: The path to the directory may vary depending on where Visual Basic has been installed. From the Run menu, click Start once the project has been opened. From the File menu, click New in the running application. For Object Type, select Bitmap Image, and then click Ok. From the File menu, click Save As in the running application.</li> In the Save As dialog, click Cancel.</li></ol>
