VB6 Cannot Make executable or DLL file

VB6 IDE can get into a state when the Make XXXX menu option under the File Menu is disabled.

From stackoverflow

• Found my own solution that did not require re-installing VB6. In VB6, Right click on the toolbar, goto Customize and reset toolbars. Aftewards, the Make XXXX menu under the File menu is re-enabled!

  unforgiven3 : Haha, gotta love bugs like that.

• I've also encountered this when the file(s) were Read-Only.
