C00000005 Error and more

[fmoore0001]

Guys, I have a new problem with an application that 3000 users are not having a problem with, but one client is. Of course, it is my fault, no theirs.

In the application on this particular machine after a new or repair install, or a reboot, they can run the program just fine, get in print, etc. However, if they exit the program and try to restart they get either a C00000005 error, a instruction error (trying to write to a portion of memory where not allowed) or the program flashes for a second and quits.

As I said, if we reboot, or reinstall the program, we can run again once.

C000000005 I usually associate with a problem printer driver or no printer at all in the system, but their printer drivers are loaded at boot time from the server.

The computer system itself is a Windows 2000 SP2 system. Several other machines in the office, set up the same way, are having a problem at all. Any ideas.

I am not sure what version of VFP you are using, but make sure it is at least 6.0 sp4.

I have seen most of my C000000005 on large views.

Those are just a couple of possibilities.

thread184-419304 suggests it could be a login name issue.

Suggests a possible TAG issue.
SYMPTOMS
When you print a report, you may receive the following error message: Fatal Error: Exception C0000005

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Tag and Tag2 fields of the report have printer code for a printer that is not currently being used.
RESOLUTION
As a workaround to the problem, delete the contents of the Tag and Tag2 fields. The following code shows....

Suggests that a "dangling reference" might be the issue.

As Jim mentioned, get the latest service pack if you're running 6.

Hi Fmoore0001,
I had "similar" problem 2 month ago.
Try to control the version of SPOOLSS.DLL on the system.
