VB 6: the project is not built because it refers to a project that does not have a binary file for compatible files

Question

I have not been developing VB 6 for almost a decade. Any tips on how to deal with this error?

The project 'ProjectB' can not be built because it references project 'C:\VSS\Foo\ProjectA\ProjectA.vbp' which does not have a binary compatibility file set.

If you can open Project A, you want to change the Component tab of the Project Properties dialog box to Binary Compatible and then recompile.

Then, in project B, restore the link to the dll / ocx file created by compiling project A.

At least this is what I remember 10 years ago, and a quick Google search.
