TITLE   :FIX: Cannot See Relationship Collection on Interface with Tab
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:5.0
OPER/SYS:NT WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:vb5all VS97FixlistSP2 VB5FixlistSP2

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for Windows,
   version 5.0
 - Microsoft Visual Studio 97
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

While attempting to use the allowedtypes relationship collection of the
IVcmGroup interface in the AddDefaultData function of the Visual Component
Manager, the relationship collection is not recognized. However, this
interface can be seen from the Browser and is, in almost all ways,
identical to all other interfaces in this and other types of information
models. The difference is that when this interface was created, the
TableName was set to the empty string. When the TableName is set to an
actual table, the allowedtypes relationship collection becomes recognized
and there is no problem.

RESOLUTION
==========

A workaround to this behavior would be to apply an "explicit" TableName.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio
97 Service Pack 2.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create the information model in a Repository with the UML, DTM, and CDE
   models in it.

2. Place the Repostry.mdb in the windows\msapps\repostry directory.

3. Launch Visual Component Manager or a custom app that uses the
   allowedtypes relationship collection.

Expected Results:
allowedtypes is recognized.

Actual Results:
Interface IVcmGroup is recognized but none of its relationship collections
(including allowedtypes) is recognized.
