MISSING: Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library

I have been away from VB programming for at least eight years, but now I have
a VB task.

I have VB 6.0 loaded with SP6 and am trying to compile a proprietary
terminal program. It loads into VB without any noticeable errors. When I
click on RUN, then START, I immediately get a COMPILE ERROR: Can't find
Project or File.

When I click on OK, VB opens the REFERENCES window, highlighting the last
checked item, which happens to be DartTelnet.oca. It shows the current
location for that OCA at the bottom of the window.

In addition, I noticed a line several items above that says:

"MISSING: Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library"

Is this what is really hanging?? What is the file name for this library?
Where can I find it?

Appreciate any help, as I have been trying to debug this one item for the
last 2 days.

Thanks

Normally, oca's don't show in the references dialog (ymmv) so make sure the
actual component is installed. That oca may be a left over from something
else.

This tip says that "Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library" is ASP.dll

Use the VB Response Object to Generate Dynamic HTML Pages

Missing references do cause VB to "hang" at times. It's usually more like a
very slow load but it does sometimes hang completely (especially on projects
that use the Implements keyword) Try to fix that reference and reload the
project. Try to avoid saving a project with a missing reference too. Just
exit without saving.

Yes!!!

I removed that reference and the source code compiled with no errors. I
havn't had a chance to test the executable yet, but thanks to you, I think we
are finally making some progress.

Thanks again,
