I have a problem with several users of my VB code experiencing "stack overflow" errors once in a while. I am fairly new to VB and wonder what kind of things, in general, that I might look for that could be using stack space without releasing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
 


The put of stack , and stack overflow has many causes. It took me forever to locate mine.

Some of the possible errors:

Nested Subs, Too many Calls being processed at one time, Too many dynamic Arreys and Fixed Strings. The rest are listed in the MSDN library. Check msdn.microsoft.com they have a list of all the potential problems.

Good luck, I needed it as well

Another cause for this error could be an infinite loop (i.e. a loop that never ends). If you are looping through a recordset an forget to put rs.movenext inside the loop, then a "stack overflow" error could result. [sig][/sig]
