Hi, all

I maintain an application writen in VB6 that uses CoolBar control version 
6.0 (SP5). Some weeks ago a customer told me that the application was 
generating an error in Windows XP (SP3) when closing it, althoug this error 
didn't prevent from running it and didn't cause loss of data.

The error message is:
"Invoice Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry 
by the inconvenience."

The error report contains the following error signature:
  AppName: ivcman.exe
  AppVer: 2.1.0.117
  ModName: kernel32.dll
  ModVer: 5.1.2600.6532
  Offset: 00012fd3

After some tests I found that the error is caused by the CoolBar control. 
After some search in the web I found also that this is an old issue reported 
by Microsoft in the KB BUG report:
Title: Wrapped CoolBar Control May GPF Client EXE Program
URL: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/misc1/DEVELOPR/VB/KB/Q189/9/14.TXT

The resolution proposed in this BUG report (Clear the Bands object) does not 
work. This is the only application where I used the CoolBar control but it 
is important for me to maintain it's VB6 interface.

Does anybody knows if any solution was ever found?

TIA
Paulo
