TITLE   :PRB: Errors in Regular Project After Using VBCE Toolkit
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:1.0,5.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbVBp500 kbIDE kbWinCE100 kbToolKit wce

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

 - Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When attempting to run a regular (non-VBCE) project after working on
Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic (VBCE) projects, the following error
may occur:

   "Before it can be compiled, the Project must have a Startup Object
   specified. Go to the Project Properties dialog to specify the Object."

RESOLUTION
==========

There are two ways to avoid the error:

 - When switching from VBCE projects to standard Visual Basic projects,
   first close the design environment, then reopen it.

 - Use the F5 key shortcut key to start the project or select Start on
   the Run menu.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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

The error described above occurs when a regular Visual Basic project,
either new or existing, is opened after a VBCE project has been opened in
the same session of the Visual Basic integrated design environment (IDE).
The error indicates incorrectly that a Startup Object has not been
specified.

Closing and reopening the design environment clears internal references to
the VBCE toolkit and prevents the error.

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

1. Open an existing VBCE project in Visual Basic.

2. Open a new standard EXE project, closing the VBCE project.

3. On the default Form1, add a CommandButton.

4. Add the following code to the CommandButton Click event procedure:

      MsgBox "OK"

5. Run the project by clicking the Start button on the toolbar. The error
   message described above is displayed even though the Startup Object for
   the new project is Form1.
