Hi fellow VB jocks,
I'm Dan from Tennessee.

I have written an app that runs fine in design mode (F5 while programming).
I compile it and run the EXE and it stops at a point in my code where I am
switching from one form to another by clicking a button. The code for this
button is simply:

Private Sub jump_adjmach_Click()

        adjmach.show
        adjmach.WindowState = 2
        adjmach.SetFocus

End Sub

When the executable hits this, I get:

Run Time Error 53
File Note Found: '??'

where the "??" is always two characters of who knows what. It's never the
same.

I'm writing in VB4 Professional 16 bit mode. Windows 95 Op Sys.

Please Help If you Can. THANKS!!!

Dan,

When mysteries pop up like this I place a series of numbered MsgBoxes at
each code level and see which one comes up before the error.

ie.
Private Sub jump_adjmach_Click()

        MsgBox "1"
        adjmach.show
        MsgBox "2"
        adjmach.WindowState = 2
        msgBox "3"
        adjmach.SetFocus

End Sub

Good luck.

Oh, btw.  You didn't ask but I thought I'd give you a pointer anyway.  I
HIGHLY recomend using standard naming conventions.  It took me a moment to
realize that "adjmach" was a form.  It helps others who read your code and
when you read others code (and believe me you will be reading others code!)
it will be easier for you to read.
