reported an IDE save-time failure that manifested as "System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259)". That HRESULT is the generic COM failure E_FAIL — an unspecified failure returned when a COM object (often a design-time ActiveX) fails while the IDE is trying to persist form data. (learn.microsoft.com) asked the right question about when it happens; pointed toward Microsoft guidance that explains how these errors surface when a control misbehaves at design time. (learn.microsoft.com)

Practical checklist (make a full backup before editing project files):

  • If a third-party ActiveX sits on a form, it can cause the IDE to fail while writing the form’s PropertyBag; binary property data is kept in the companion .frx file, so removing or replacing the control (or its property block in the .frm) can let the project save again. (stackoverflow.com)
  • To change or reinstall the system ActiveX, unregister/register the OCX from an elevated prompt. Use the 32-bit regsvr32 under SysWoW64 for 32-bit OCXs on 64-bit Windows. Example commands: 
regsvr32 /u "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx"
%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32 "C:\Path\To\flash10c.ocx"

Run these as Administrator and follow Microsoft regsvr32 troubleshooting steps if you see errors. (support.microsoft.com)

Cautions and alternatives: reverting to older Flash binaries may restore functionality but carries security risk — Flash is end-of-life and no longer updated, so prefer to remove the dependency or replace the UI piece with a non-Flash solution (host a small launcher, use an external player, or migrate SWF content to modern formats).

@reverend Jim

in your link from microsoft, in the "resolution" is recommended to add the following additional declaration:
Private Declare Sub InitCommonControls Lib "comctl32.dll" ()

if I add it when stored error remains the same, then I change it to
Public Declare Sub InitCommonControls Lib "comctl32.dll" ()

the sub play, then I save the program again and error is gone, what will affect the way I again ?

thanks in advance, I hope your comment

I have tried by adding
Private Declare Sub InitCommonControls Lib "comctl32.dll" ()
taking on the form of the component Comctl32.Ocx control and on Form_Load, I call InitCommonControls but the results remain the same when the program turns out I save error message "System Error & H80004005 (-2147467259) Unspecified Error" still appears

please help, thanks in advance
