has gone missing....
What have I changed to make it vanish?

instantiate an object (third party -- I have no control over it) and
then tell it to connect to its data source (again, no control over it).
It boils down to just 2 lines of code:

I used following FTP classes in a project recently. It takes a full minute
to stop the VB 6 IDE after referencing these classes. I'm curious what makes
it take so long?
