SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the WithEvents keyword to implement event procedures for a Visual
Basic 6.0 WebClass, the events do not fire.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems
that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional
testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft
recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 service pack
that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services
phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft
Web site:

  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls
may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific
update will resolve your problem. The usual support costs will apply to
additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific
update in question.

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or
later:

  Date        Time    Version     Size       File name     Platform
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  18-Dec-2001 11:44   6.0.0.9444  1,693,456  VBA6.dll      x86

To apply this hotfix, follow these steps:

1. Locate the VB6.exe and VBA6.dll files on your computer. By default, these
  files are installed in the following folder:

  <Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98

2. Make sure that Visual Basic 6.0 is not running.

3. Make a backup copy of VB6.exe and VBA6.dll, and then replace them with the
  files from this hotfix.

NOTE: Because this is a compile-time problem, you must recompile all components
that are affected after you apply this hotfix.
