Try this:

1. Right click any of VB's toolbars and select Customize (or from the View
menu, select Toolbars and then Customize).
2. Click the Reset button.
3. Click the OK button.

What edition of VB6 do you have? These could be disabled due to that.  But
since you said "no longer", I can't see the edition being the problem unless
something got screwed where VB no longer "thinks" it's the edition you
really have. I *have* seen this before.  IOW, for whatever reason, VB
Enterprise reverts to VB Standard (or Working Model, as I've seen EE revert
to WM too). I don't have a solution to that other than uninstall, clean out
the Registry *real good* (IOW, everything related to VB and it's components,
controls, etc.), and reinstall.
