Can anyone give me a clue as to what I might need to be looking for
here?

Using VB6 (SP5) on Windows XP Pro with all current service packs and
updates.

I have more than 25 VB projects on this computer. With 3 of them, when
I shutdown VB, VB crashes (and displays the pop-up that says, "VB has
encountered a problem and needs to close..."). By "shutdown", I mean
that I click on the red "X" Close button in the upper right corner of
VB or I use the File|Exit menu.

These 3 programs all behave normally in every way. They load and run
in the editor without problems. They compile without any problem - and
the compiled exec's run normally.

To cause this crashing, all I need to do is load the program (either
by double-clicking on the .vpb file or by loading it from the
File|Open Project menu) and then close VB (as noted above).

I've checked the References and Components that are being used. As
near as I can tell, everything is installed and registered properly. I
cannot find anything that these 3 programs have in common that is not
in the other programs (although I'm going to continue looking).

I'm hoping that some here maybe has experienced a similar problem that
might help me diagnose this.

Help ?

All I can say is that I have that problem only if I run the app in the
IDE.
It doesn't crash when I run the app, but if I later try to run it a
second
time, or if I wait long enough coding afterwards, it will just go
bye-bye.
I usually don't even get the notice, it just unloads itself, period.

I still also have the weird problem where I can only run reports
generated
with Crystal if I'm running in the IDE, and cannot with the compiled
version
of my app on my development machine. None of my end-users have the
problem
at all. I've had that problem for years, and it means that if I want to
test a report, I have to run the app through the IDE and I have to
remember
to manually end the program, otherwise it'll crash within the next few
minutes.


Hows your disk space?
Done any cleaning of temp file?
Been moving items around lately?
Running the Registry regularly?
After cleaning re-install Crystal.

Thanks for all the tips, but tried all that and more. The only thing I
haven't done is contact Crystal directly about the problem, but I have
searched their knowledge base on numerous occaisions.

I've even moved to a new computer, and completely re-installed everything,
and the problem followed me.

Also tried upgrading from Crystal 8.5 to XI, problem also followed it. Most
bizarre thing I've ever seen.

I've literally thrown in the towel on this one. It's inconvenient, very
inconvenient, but I can live with it since it only affects me.
