VB6 Compile Errors due to .dsr files

This thread is related to another called "Project Load errors in VB6". I thought this was different enough to justify a new thread.

I get vb6 pro compile errors of the type "variablename variable not found". In the corresponding log file, it has "variablename.dsr could not be loaded". DSR files, along with .dca and sometimes .dcx files, are generated by the MS Report Designer which I thought was installed on my VB6 Pro. However, if I select Project>Add Data Report, I get "Class Not Registered" with only a clsid listed. I have no idea what class is being referred to. If I select Add-Ins from the toolbar of my project, then Report Designer, it takes me to Crystal Reports which I don't want to use.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind of hard. VB6 is OLD... Sorry to say, not many know how to use to old tools that were available. In fact, most people BOUGHT other tools to help them overcome problems.
