Removing a Reference, VB6

My app formerly used a third party ocx (resize.ocx), and it was checked as one of the references in the Reference dialog box.

I no longer need this ocx and have removed all code references to it. (A search through Project confirms this.)

When I try to compile the development code, I get a series of 3 messages: "Resize.ocx cannot open the license file." "You are not licensed to use the Resize.ocs in the development environment." "License information for this component not found."

When I try to uncheck this in the dialog box, I get a message "Cannot remove control or reference; in use."

I tried unregistering the ocx, hoping that would help. I'm away from my home-office for the holidays, and tried to recall the correct syntax for unregistering. I used "c:\windows\system32>regsvr32 c:\windowsw\regsvr32\resize.ocx \u". Resulting message. "Resize.ocx not found. ..."

BTY, a very similar app once used Resize.ocx, but no longer does. I don't recall how I removed the reference to it, but that app runs in development mode, compiles, and everything else it is supposed to.

Thanks for help, and Happy Holidays.
