I created an app in vb6 (SP5). It works great in the VB enviornment. And when the app is installed on my pc (same as vb is).....however
When the app is installed on other test-pc's for beta testing it gets all sorts of weird.
i have 2 databases (access 2000) that are installed with the app. a SYSTEM (can be replaced for autoupdates) and a DATA (stays on the users computer gets personal info added to it)
When using the installed version (on testing pcs) i can utilize some of the functionality which writes/retrieves from both databases, however there are two forms which crash the app. (shuts the app totally off-no error no explanation-restarting the app produces the splash screen but no MDIForm1 (which is the main form))
I installed MZ-Tools and recompiled the package using the PDW.bat file and the NEW EXE FILE. When reinstalled on the test machine it gives me an error message (put error handling MZ-TOOLS into problem forms) a weird - error code that is like 9 digits and tells me UNRECOGNIZED DATABASE FORMAT. I click ok and it brings up the form, but when i try to invoke anything that requires a db query, it crashes again, with no explanation.
Relative info on the test machine:
WINDOWS 2k SP4
LOTS O RAM
P4 3 GHz
OFFICE 97
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I am losing my mind. I am two problems away from a functional BETA release and i am chomping at the bit!
Thank you in advance. Anyone to help me is sure to get major stars and a bit of thank you in my system credit.
Regards,
Stew
