Board index » Visual Studio » References option missing from Project menu

Visual Studio370
This is a weird one, but I went to add a project reference

(as I've done a thousand times before), and the References

option was missing from the Project menu. I must of

accidently changed some VB6 setting or corrupted

something, but I have no idea what. I tried reinstalling

SP5 in hopes that it would restore the VB settings, but it

didn't help. Does anyone know what might be responsible

for the mysterious References option disappearance?

No one's described what causes it... but it's fairly common to lose a menu item. Just

right click somewhere on the menu, select Customize and hit the reset button.

If you do a lot of menu/toolbar customization, you may want to back up the Dock, Tool and

UI registry values under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0

registry key. I usually just export that entire branch to a file and manually edit out the

stuff I don't care about (like recent files, etc)

Go to View ->Toolbars ->Customize ->Project and drag references menu back

to its place.

At least one sentence in this post is wrong, but it could be this one
