I am looking at an old VB6 ActiveX .dll that has the unattended execution and retained in memory check boxed grayed out. I found out that happens when a form is attached to the project. I removed the form, yet the boxes remain grayed out.
What do I have to do to make them click-able?
I've just tried this with a brand new VB6 ActiveX dll project and you're right that the unattended exectution box is grayed-out after a form is added, but the box is enabled again as soon as the form is removed.
The project was as simple as you can get - a single class and a single form, so I don't know if there are any other elements in your project that will keep the check box grayed out.
Update: I've just tried this the other way round. I enabled unattended execution to see what I then cannot add to the project. This includes:
I actually just found the answer here:

Now I have to figure out if we can remove that component out of this particular .dll
