Searching in Adobe forum here i found many people having the same problem. has Flash10d.ocx installer, download version 10.0.42.34 from there OR Adobe provides old version of their player on this page, you need to download the fp10_archive.zip 157 MB zip file and then go to \10r45_2 folder to find flashplayer10r45_2_winax.exe which is the Flash10e setup. so 1st uninstall flash using the instruction provided here

Flash10f.ocx, Flash10g.ocx, Flash10h.ocx, Flash10i.ocx (the latest) all having the same problem. *Opening a form with flash control and/or changing property of existing controlĪnd then trying to save it produces errors.ĭowngrading to flash10e.ocx seems to fix the problem. *Adding Flash Control or Adding any control to a form having a flash control If we open an old project which already have a flash control, there is no problem in saving or compiling the app as long as we dont open the form containing the flash control.

The last version of flash which didnt had any problem with VB6 was Flash10e.ocx it seems all version after that are having the same problem. There has been recent news about Adobe Flash Control causing problem in VB6 projects.
