Change back the project type to ActiveX DLL/EXE/OCX and you will see that
property. When it reappears, VB sets to Private, meaning that it will not be
visible to the outside world. Change it to Multiuse or any other option.

Standard answer follows:

It sounds like that you are not using binary compatibility. You may have to
remove the traces of your controls/DLL's from the registry. See this article
in how to do it:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;180525

Even if you don't have multiple copies of the same control name in the
registry, the steps above still apply. They are equivalent to "regsvr32 /u
control.ocx", or "regsvr32 /u <vbide>".

When you run an ActiveX project in the IDE, VB6 creates registry entries and
points them to the following file:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6DEBUG.DLL

When you stop the project, the IDE would auto delete these entries, unless
it crashes.
