SYMPTOMS
========

An Invalid Page Fault occurs when opening or closing members of the
DataEnvironment Designer.

CAUSE
=====

A bug in Visual Basic sometimes causes heap corruption in the DataEnvironment
Designer when the text name of a child node is longer than the text name of its
parent node. For example, if the name of a connection is TestConn, and the name
of a stored procedure under the connection is TestStoredProc, then this problem
may occur when opening or closing the stored procedure.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in the latest
service pack for Visual Studio 6.0.
