BUG: SSTab Control Containing OLE Control May Crash

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default. Choose Components from the Project menu and add a reference to the "Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 5.0."
2. Add an SSTab control to Form1. By default, there will be three tabs named Tab0, Tab1 and Tab2. Add a CommandButton to Form1.
3. Add an OLE control to the first tab, Tab0, of the SSTab control. Choose Cancel when prompted to insert an object.
4. Paste the following code into the code window of Form1:

         Private Sub Command1_Click()
           'Set the current tab to the second tab
           SSTab1.Tab = 1
   
           'Embed a bitmap into the OLE control
           OLE1.CreateEmbed "C:\VB5\Graphics\Bitmaps\Assorted\Envelope.bmp"
         End Sub
   					

5. Change the path in the code above to a valid BMP file on your system.
6. Save and run the project.
7. Click Command1. Click Tab0 and note that the OLE control displays the bitmap file.
8. Click Command1 and then click Tab0. Note that Visual Basic terminates with one of the errors mentioned above. If no problem occurs, repeat steps 7 and 8. If the problem still does not occur, try restarting Visual Basic and repeat the steps beginning at step 6. This problem also occurs when running the project as a compiled .exe file.
