Hi All,

I have created an VB application with a MDI form and a lot of
Childforms.
When I run the application in VB environment there are no problems but
when I compile it
into an executable and start the program there is one sort of form that
makes the application crash.

I get the error that:
An error occured and VB will be closed.

I tried to find where things go wrong but that's not possible.

Can anyone help me with some tips here...

- In VB6, in the project's properties, go to the Compile tab and select
"Create symbolic debug info". This will create a PDB file when you compile
your project.
- Save and Compile.
- Run the EXE from Windows Explorer.
- Go to VC++ 6.0|File|Close Workspace.
- Go to Build|Start Debug|Attach to process, and select your running EXE.
- Go to View|Debug Windows, and make sure that "Call Stack" window is
visible.
- Let it crash.
- The call stack shows you where the problem is. One of the lines will
point
to your source code, when you double click on that, it will show you the
source code and points to the exact line that caused the error.
- If the program closed normally, or you want to try again, go to
Build|Execute <Your EXE file name>.
- There are some settings that you could change, if necessary, in
Project|Settings|Debug.

Make sure that you disable "Create symbolic debug info" before releasing
your software.


If you don't have VC++ download WinDbg

Follow the same procedures for setting up your VB debug exe.
