Guys:
We are using one of the oldest application built in PB4.0.0.3 running on NT3.51 build 1057 and constantly getting the error Access Violation 0xc0000005 address 0x002cff8c. It happens through out the app and could not be narrowed down. Any help would be appreciated, well thanks guys in advance.

that is a tough one without more to go on... I have seen some funky stuff in my day... just last week... for instance... if you were using rich text edit control in PB 7.0 and didn't have a printer installed then the application would bomb.... talk about hard to troubleshoot... if you have more to go on I might be able to point you in one direction or another...=(
 
Hi,

Check you are destroying all those objects which you've explicitly created. If you use
Code:
OpenUserObject
, make sure you balance it with
Code:
CloseUserObject
.

Cheers.
 
Thanks guys, This error happens only in our clients place, We could not recreate them out here in our development machines. So spotting out the object that causes this error is getting more difficult. Have anyone used Sysinternal's Filemon to identify the location, Is that usefull? Please let me know.

We had the same problem earlier, if the printer not being installed and if you do the report datawindow print preview then you get Dr.Watson error and We got rid of that.
