What operating system are you using? If you are using XP, can you go back to a restore point and have it work?

Perhaps try reinstalling VB instead of your Wondows last restore point - I've had VB6 clobbered on occasion when I installed a .net reliant application; I'm still trying to figure out why but a VB6 reinstall has always fixed it for me.

I had a similar problem a long time ago. I'm not sure that it is exactly the same problem as yours but I found that the only thing I could do was to reinstall VB6. I know it's like using a sledghammer to crack a nut but then that's the nature of Windows systems.

Well it's possible that the .frm file has got messed up. Open it up in notepad, compare to a working one and see if you can see anything strange in there.

P.S.
Back up Back up back up ! but that is of course for next time
