a) This newsgroups' language is german. If you don't understand german you
should post your quuestion in a microsoft.public.vb(.*) newsgroup and not
in a microsoft.public.de.vb(.*) newsgroup.
b) If you understand german you should google this newsgroup with the key
phrase "out of memory" since this is a FAQ.
c) In most cases the source of this error is the integration of MS Forms
objects in the respective VB project. Since you mention "Office XP Basic"
this presumably is the source of your problem as well.
MS itself states somewhere on the MS web pages that MS Forms objects are
not designed for use in VB projects. And you are not allowed to distribute
the respective libraries.
