Okay,

I'm thinking that one of the critical updates that you performed
was messed up. You did those off the Internet site, right?

And all the problems started happening after the update, right?

Bit shifting during downloads doesn't happen alot, but it does
happen. It even happens when copying files from a CD to a disk
drive. It occurs alot more often when doing any download. MS
has known about this problem for the last 9 years at least.

You can get to your Windows Update history, by clicking on
the Windows Update link in the Start Menu. Then click on the
View Installation History, it should be arranged by date.

Make a note of the last couple updates that you did, uninstall
those updates, reboot the computer, then clear your Internet
Cache and perform the updates again and see if that fixes the
problem.

Since I was having trouble, I used the Application Wizard to
create an MDI form with one child MDI form. I also included
the Splash, About, and one Dialog control. I let the Wizard do
the work, then added my code in. It used the following objects:
Object = "{F9043C88-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB}#1.2#0"; "COMDLG32.OCX"
Object = "{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.0#0"; "MSCOMCTL.OCX"
It used to work, then suddenly, all I can do is click the
Start debug button, then I immediately get the message to
Send an Error Message to Microsoft, which I've done
several times.  When I click on the Debug button on that
message window, I see the unhandled exception error
message.
p.s. I changed one line of code yesterday, and got
farther along before hitting the message. Today, I'm
running the same code, and get the message
immediately again. Don't know why???

I don't know if that will work or not. Do you have any other info
about what the file is doing? What components are installed?
I'm thinking that you might want to check the permissions on the
vba6.dll file. Somewhere I've read that there was a permission
problem in some case, but I think the document referred to the
mfc42.dll file. I'm just throwing something up in the air.
That's about the best I can do right at the moment with the
information provided. A list of components that are in use might
help.

To Jim Carlock: yes, I am using mscomctl.ocx, but I am using
VB6.0 (SP5). The controls have been added to my components
list.
To ikke1: The mfc42.dll I am using is dated 8/18/2001.
Do either one of you have a fix for me? I've been struggling
for days now, and need to go forward on my project at work.
Thanks.

I copied a version of MFC42.DLL with a date of 2001 over a
the same file with a date 2003 in the system32 directory. This
solved the "application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022)
..." message.
