TITLE   :BUG: Resource Loss with VB4 16-Bit OLE Container in Windows 3.11
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:IAPOLE vb416 VB4WIN

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

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition, 16-bit only, for Windows,
   version 4.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When using the 16-bit Visual Basic 4.0 OLE Container Control under Windows
3.11, a one time loss of System Resources will occur. For example, when
inserting an Excel 5.0 Worksheet into the OLE Container, the first time
that sheet is instantiated, Windows will incur a loss of approximately 3
percent of the available System Resources. This loss has been reproduced
with other inserted objects as well, with varying amounts of System
Resources being lost. This resource loss only occurs the first time that
the inserted object is instantiated.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.

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

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

1. Add an OLE Container Control to Form1.

2. Insert an Excel 5.0 Worksheet into the OLE Container.

3. Compile this project into an executable file. Exit to DOS and restart
   Windows.

4. In Program Manager, select "About Program Manager" from the Help Menu,
   and note the Available Resources.

5. Start the executable created in step 3.

6. Double-click the OLE Container.

7. Press the ESC key to close the Excel Worksheet.

8. Exit the Visual Basic program.

9. Re-check the Available Resources and note that there is a loss of
   Resources.
