disappearing VBE toolbar menu items

| Using VB6 Enterprise SP6.
There is a problem with menu items under Project disappearing, these are
Project properties
and Project references. I keep putting them back via Customize, Command, but
it is getting
a bit of a nuisance.
Any tips how to avoid this trouble?

Only a couple guesses....
Do you have any add-ins loaded? Some of these are notorious for "screwing
up" VB. Go figure. Remove all add-ins (make sure they don't load at
startup). Add each one back, one at a time, and play with VB a little while
(only you'll know how long based on how long it was taking for these menu
commands to disappear again). When the problem starts re-occuring, you'll
know what, if any, add-in is causing the problem.
Try resetting VB's toolbars and menus back to their defaults (click the
Reset button). Play with VB for a while and see if the problem goes away.
If it does, redo any of your own customizations. Yeah I know. If you've
done a lot of customizing this can be a pain, but it should fix any
"corruption".

Live with it or remove any addins I'm afraid - it is a pain
but you'll have to decide if the benefit of the addins your
using are worth putting up with this 'feature'
