SYMPTOMS

In the French, Italian, or Spanish versions of Visual Basic 6.0, when adding control details to the repository, the following error message occurs:

in French:

"Ordinals 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113 introuvables"

in English:

"Ordinals 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113 not found"

If no controls have been added to the form yet, the Add-in should load without error, but if a control is subsequently added to the form, the same error occurs.

In the string localization process, some strings in repvbrc.dll that should not have been changed, were localized; specifically, STR 1, 27000->27012, 27106->27109, 27111->27113. That change produces the error.
