So you had a VB6 app which you upgraded to .NET, and now some of the components are missing?  Or it was already a .NET app with those components working fine and then they suddenly disappeared?  If it's former, you probably need to add references to the Dll's.

it was a vb6 app upgraded to vb.net it has worked for ages but suddenly it lost controls, though the controls are not available on other apps either so i think it is .net rather than the app
