In debug mode, when this runs for about 30 minutes, I get an Error 28 - Stack Overflow, but it keeps running. When it runs in .exe mode, it just quits the program after about 22 minutes. What do I need to do to eliminate the stack overflow? GetTheData just calls GetPSR and also looks to see if...

Tedsmith, Thanks for the suggestions - we're considering them all. norason

AndyGroom, The first suggestion won't work since the one program must constantly listen for data. I'll kick around the second suggestion. Thanks. norason

Our system has the following equipment: 1 device with 1 serial connection (RS422) 1 PC with a VB6 program that was initially designed to hook up directly to the RS422 device. 1 Pc with a different VB6 program that was initially designed to hook up to the RS422 device. 1 Ethernet to Serial black...

This code won't display the text I want on the row - it shows a thick black line. It also puts the Millisecond legend about 3 inches below the thick line as if there were another column. What setting am I missing? I copied this code to another progam (even copied the MSChart graphic in order...

I put this in hoping that it would re-start no matter what the error was. But I got a msgbox: Runtime Error #13 Type mismatch and then it terminated when I said OK. norason ErrorHandler: If Error$(Err) Then With MSComm1 If .PortOpen Then .PortOpen = False End If End With End If...

I used the Error$(Err) and after about 20 minutes I got: Automation Error The object involved has disconnected from its clients. norason

I got the error handler to work. After I run the program for about 2 hours, constantly sending and receiving data, it crashes with: comEvReceive. The input buffer shows exactly the data it should, and it is not too long. I've tried constantly opening and closing the comm port after the four...

Thanks to all! I tried to uninstall VB6, but it couldn't find it, so I just installed a clean version. Then I up-dated to SP6, and everything work fine. Some day I'll delete all the old VB6 sub-directories, but for now, I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks again! norason

thanks, I made the mods and started another check - we'll see what happens after about 2 hours. norason

I'm trying to add comm error traps, but when I run this, it immediately jumps to errorhandler, reports event 892, and skips all the comm events. So I still don't know what is causing the error. If I use On Error Resume Next, it runs for about 2 hours, then stops. norason Public Function...

That must be the problem. I didn't want to reinstall before since I was afraid of loosing VB6. Now that I have it on another computer, I'll reinstall in on the laptop. Thanks a million for all your help. I'll report back when it's reinstalled. norason

I know, it makes no sense, and I don't remember why it was put there. I know I didn't move it, it was there from the start. Regarding the registry I have: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Setup\Microsoft Visual Basic which has two folders: Setup Wizard Setup...

That's the procedure I followed. Everything shows up exactly as described, but the Help screen doesn't show SP6. In fact, I tried SP5 several months ago, no joy there either. I wonder if it is because my VB6.exe is in a strange sub-directory: C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\Microsoft Visual...

Results: On the new computer, it worked fine - the Help screen shows SP6. On my laptop (XP Pro) it ran, but when I run VB6, the Help doesn't show SP6. The laptop is my main development tool, loaded with software. Thoughts? Thanks

Got it - thanks again. I'll report the results.

My bad, I'll search for the correct one after I wipe the egg off my face. Thanks!

rickstone, It's XP PRO SP3 It has visual studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, Visual Web developer 2008 Express, Office and some other stuff.

Downloaded vb60-kb290887-x86.exe Clicked it. Told it to load into: C:\Downloads\VBSP6 It created: vbrun60sp6.exe Clicked it. It ran, all I could see in the window was some file with a DLL extension. Ran VB6 Help, it shows no SP number. It shows v8176.

I just loaded VB6 onto a new computer, and tried SP6 - no joy. The program flashed a screen I couldn't read, and no SP info showed up on VB6.
