TITLE   :BUG: OLEcont MSDN Sample Does Not Allow a SaveAs Cancel
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:6.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

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

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When using the Microsoft Visual Basic sample application OLECont, the
following error may occur:

   Path/File access error

This error occurs when the sample application is run and the user clicks
Cancel when attempting to use Save As from the File menu of the sample
application.

CAUSE
=====

The CancelError property of the CommonDialog is not set to True. Therefore,
the run-time error is executed.

RESOLUTION
==========

To allow the Common Dialog control to be cancelled during a Save, the
CancelError property of the CommonDialog should be set to True. The
following line of code allows the Cancel button to function correctly:

   ParentForm.ActiveForm.CommonDialog1.CancelError = True

The line of code above should be entered into the OpenSave subroutine in
the ModOLECont module immediately below the following lines of the
subroutine, as follows:

   Sub OpenSave(Action as String)
      Dim Filenum
      Filenum = FreeFile
      'Insert line here to resolve Cancel button for CommonDialog1
      ParentForm.ActiveForm.CommonDialog1.CancelError = True

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
------------------

1. Start Microsoft Visual Basic, and open the OLECont sample project. This
   project should be located in the following directory:

      \Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VS\1033\Samples\Vb98\Olecnt

   NOTE: The path to the directory may vary depending on where Visual Basic
   has been installed.

2. From the Run menu, click Start once the project has been opened.

3. From the File menu, click New in the running application.

4. For Object Type, select Bitmap Image, and then click Ok.
