error code "c0000005(access violation)"

[Munkus]

O/S = Win 2000/NT
Software orginally done in VB 3.1 and re-compiled with each new edition. When compiling the software in VB 6 in win 2000 the application generates the
"c0000005(access violation)" error. In the lab we were able to produce the same problem for both the English and French platforms that we use. Has anyone come accross this same problem before, or something that would be similar that would help narrow the search down ?

Do you know what line was executing when the error was thrown? If not, try to narrow it down by compiling some Msgbox in the app (since the error that you are getting will not be caught by an error handler) . . . it is a very easy way to determine what line is causing this kind of error.
