SYMPTOMS
========

When trying to set the DataSource or RowSource properties of the DataList or
DataCombo controls in a project that also contains the Crystal Reports Smart
Viewer control, you may see one or all of the following symptoms:

- The entire property page of the control goes blank.

- Visual Basic stops responding and requires you to end the task.

- You may receive the following error:

  vb6.exe Application Error
  The instruction at "0x0055d620" referenced memory at "0x0000003"
  The memory could not be read.

NOTE: The exact memory locations may vary from system to system.

Although these symptoms have been verified only with the DataList and DataCombo
controls, the problem can occur with any data-aware control.

RESOLUTION
==========

According to Seagate Technical Support, to work around this, remove the Smart
Viewer Control from the project when you need to edit the DataSource or
RowSource properties of any data-aware control that causes the symptoms listed
above. After the properties have been edited, add the Smart Viewer Control back
into the project.
