You have Dbgrid16.ocx and Dbgrid32.ocx controls on your
Windows 95 or Windows 98-based system that are in use by two different
applications. One application uses the 16-bit control (Dbgrid16.ocx) and
another application uses the 32-bit control (Dbgrid32.ocx). If you start the
16-bit application and then try to start the 32-bit application, the 32-bit
application fails and returns the following error message:
Component 'DBGRID32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not
correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
The problem does
not happen if you run these applications on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP. Also, it does not happen if you start the 32-bit application first
and then start the 16-bit application.
