Fatal Link Errors

When you compile an ActiveX control, Visual Basic tries to create some files. If you try to create the control directly from the CD-ROM, this fails because you cannot create files on the CD-ROM.

To solve the problem, copy the files onto your hard disk.

While you're at it, select the files on your hard disk in Windows Explorer. Right click on them and invoke the Properties command, uncheck the Read-only check box, and click Ok.

Now you can load these files from the hard disk instead of the CD-ROM. You can create the files Visual Basic needs to compile the control. You can also modify the files and save changes.
