Help: Microsoft Data Formatting Object Library

| My project has a reference to Microsoft Data Formatting Object Library, I
didn't add it?? I can remove the reference, recompile without a problem and
save the project. However, when I reopen the project the reference returns,
any ideas on what is happening are appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
Chuck Faranda

| This is because some other components you may have added to your project may
be referencing this dll... this may also happen if you are using databound
controls

You have accidentally set the DataFormat property of a label
control or some other control.
Changing this will cause this reference to be added
automatically.
You'll have to find the control with the problem and you'll
have to remove the control and add a new one to replace it
(IIRC you can't reset the property - anyone know
differently?)

A couple years ago I got bitten by this bug with a control array of all
things...
Here's how I took care of the problem...
In a Text Editor, ie: NotePad, load the Form Code, *.frm file, and look for the
following-->
VERSION 5.00
Begin VB.Form Form1
Caption = "Form1"
ClientHeight = 3135
ClientLeft = 60
ClientTop = 405
ClientWidth = 4680
LinkTopic = "Form1"
ScaleHeight = 3135
ScaleWidth = 4680
StartUpPosition = 3 'Windows Default
Begin VB.Label Label1
Caption = "Label1"
BeginProperty DataFormat <<<<<<<<<Starts Here!!!
Type = 1
Format = ""
HaveTrueFalseNull= 0
FirstDayOfW = 0
FirstWOfYear = 0
LCID = 1033
SubFormatType = 0
EndProperty<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Ends Here!!!
Height = 525
Left = 1740
TabIndex = 0
Top = 1320
Width = 1245
End
End
Attribute VB_Name = "Form1"
Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False
Attribute VB_Creatable = False
Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = True
Attribute VB_Exposed = False
Option Explicit
If I remember correctly all I did is delete the above lines and that was
that....
I know, I know.... M$'s no escape clause...
Have a good day...
Don
