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

Known Problems in Visual Component Manager:

Related Files Tab (Component Properties Dialog Box)" Topic Incorrect
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Visual Component Manager User Interface Reference: The topic "Related Files Tab
(Component Properties Dialog Box)" incorrectly states that the tab is used to
display and enter files that are related to the selected component. In fact,
none of the information displayed on this tab can be modified. You can add
related files to a component only when publishing or re-publishing the
component. For more information, search online, with Search titles only
selected, for "Publishing Components" in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0
documentation.

Removing Repository 1.0 Registry Keys
-------------------------------------

If you installed VCM 5.0 (previously available for Web download) you will have
the following Windows Registry keys setup. They were necessary for VCM 5.0 and
the 1.0 version of the Repository. If you find the following Registry entries
then it is safe to remove them and may, in fact, improve VCM 6.0 performance:

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheMaxAnnProps

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheMaxObjects

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\ CacheRelshipMaxCollections

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheRelshipMaxRows

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\MaxRowCacheAge

Adding Repository Tables to an Existing .mdb File
-------------------------------------------------

If you try to open an existing .mdb file from within VCM that is not a repository
database (i.e., it does not contain the repository structure/tables), you will
be asked if you want the repository tables added to the database. You should not
do this for normal use; the repository should generally be in a separate
database. This will work, but it can take as long as 10 minutes to create the
repository structure in an existing .mdb file.

To create a brand new .mdb file containing the repository structure, right- click
in the folder outline, click Repository, click New, and then enter the name of
the file you want to create.
