Re: VB IDE Crashes during Compile/Make

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yep, it's a bug. I've seen it and there seem to be several different
things that can cause it.

The first thing I would try is to break up any largeish modules into
separate smaller ones. I have also found that certain array
declarations can cause this problem and moving the array declaration
and most of the code dealing with the array to a separate module fixed
the problem.

I also have one app that won't compile on the dev machine but will
compile on another machine accessing the project files across the
network. I have no clue as to why this is so, but trying the above
suggestions didn't make any difference on the dev machine.

HTH,
Bryan
