Facing problem when loading VB form
Hi Guys
Thanks for your response. Let me explain the problem little more clearly.
We have developed a ActiveX DLL in Visual Basic 5.0 This DLL is coded to
retrieve certain information from the SQL server database using ADO and
display it in a VB form. User can key in the information related to
retreived data and save the it to the SQL server. We are calling this DLL
from the outlook (OFT files) in the following way. In our case Items are
located in a public folder of exchange server.
item_open()
{
..............
...............
Set moButtons = CreateObject("FxFTWO.ExWO") /* activeX DLL */
If moButtons is Nothing then
Msgbox "FxFTWO.ExWO not Installed or Registered properly",
VbInformation + vbOKOnly, TITLE
Call CmdExit_Click
Exit Function
End If
........
Quote:
}
CmdReport_Click()
{
...............
moButtons.EnterReport; /* connects to SQL database and loads VB input form
*/
.............
Quote:
}
Item_open function is called and outlook form opens without any problem. Now
we have button in outlook form to generate the click event. There are around
5 function that uses this DLL object but "EnterReport" is the only function
that loads the VB form. Now when we click on other buttons functions are
performed properly but when we click on the 'EnterReport" button sometimes
the VB form gets opened and someother time no form is loaded and button
toggles as though no function defined for this button. If we go out of
outlook and come again it works. I have a doubt if any memory leakage or
outlook limitation is causing this trouble.
Can anyone help me on this.
thanks
Kasi
