Do you have a back up of your project? If yes, have you tried to load it? If
no back up, well... extremely risky habit to not have one.

If you have the original VBP or an older version of VBP, open it with
Notepad.

However, even if you don't have it, after a full backup, start a new
project, remove Form1 from the project by clicking on it and going to the
Project menu, then clicking on "Remove Form1".

Next, go to Project, Components, then add "Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0".

Finally, add the files from the pervious project to the new project.

Yes I have backed it up on Friday, but the backup gives me the same error,
even on a different machine

Have you tried to load the app on a different operating system? I have an XP
box that is set to download Windows update automatically... I notice that
box has a very high rate of causing VB project loading error. I understand
it is not the best to "automaticatically download Windows Update" for Xp box
used to run VB development enviroment.
