SUMMARY
=======

When you use the Application Wizard in Microsoft Visual Basic, the following
errors might occur:

  60: Object variable or with block variable not set

  60: Method '~' of object '~' not found

  CreateChildForm: License information for this component not found. You do not
  have the appropriate license to use this functionality in the design
  environment.

MORE INFORMATION
================

These errors are caused by ActiveX Control registry problems. To resolve the
error, it is important to isolate which control is causing the problem and make
sure that the control is properly registered.

Step-by-Step Procedures
-----------------------

1. Use the list below to determine which component is not registered correctly:

     Object  50      : ComDlg32.ocx
     Object  60      : MSComCtl.ocx
     Object 165      : RichTx32.ocx
     CreateChildForm : MSStdFmt.dll

2. Unregister the component using RegSvr32.exe. To do this, go to the Windows
  Start menu, click Run and type the following command:

     RegSvr32 /u C:\Windows\System\COMDLG32.OCX

3. Re-register the control using RegSvr32.exe. To do this, go to the Windows
  Start menu, click Run and type the following command:

     RegSvr32 C:\Windows\System\RICHTX32.OCX

4. Run the appropriate license utility (see the References section of this
  article) to make sure that the licenses for Microsoft Visual Basic are
  installed properly.

5. Run the Application Wizard to make sure that the problem is resolved.
