Using Visual Basic 6.0 I will create an instance of an object with several methods and properties. When I attempt to perform operations on/with the object I do not get a list of the properties and methods appearing in a drop down box after typing the object name. I also will not get a list of the expected parameters when I call A function. The objects are declared properly and my code runs fine. Is there some option that VB uses to turn this off? If so how do I turn it back on?
 
You could be missing a reference to a type library or something, have used the createobject method to instanciate your objects or have unchecked the auto list members in the tool menu's options item
 
Check Tools-Options and select the Editor tab.
Look to see that Auto List Members, Auto Quick Info, and Auto data tips are all selected.

Hope that helps!
