SYMPTOMS
========

After creating and saving a component library using Component Builder (CB), the
library is moved to a different directory while still open in CB. A subsequent
attempt to export COBOL from the same instance of CB fails and the following
error message appears:

  Export was unable to find the component library C:\Component1.TLB.
  Restore or re-save the component library and retry export.

WORKAROUND
==========

To correctly export COBOL, do either of the following:

- Close the file in CB before you move component libraries to different
  directories.

-or-

- In CB, click Open on the File menu. Open the type library from its new
  location. COBOL export will work correctly.
