 Form_Load() doesn't execute, form doesn't load I've written a small VB program that I'm trying to distribute to a
couple friends. When they try to run it, nothing happens. Well, not
quite: a new entry appears in the taskbar, but clicking it doesn't
result in my main form appearing. At least this is what they both
claim - I haven't seen this behavior in action.
The program uses a couple DLLs: the Textract control from StructuRise
(the shareware version), and the CCRP high performance timer objects.
I'm fairly sure both of these are installed correctly on my friends'
computers.
In desperation, I even had one friend install VB on his system, and
load up my project. Everything worked fine, but when he compiled and
ran it from within VB, the same damn thing happened! I had him comment
out all the code in Form_Load() for my main form, and type in
'Debug.Print "Loading main form"'. When he ran the project, this text
didn't appear in the Immediate window.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Daniel> Take a look under the compilation options and try to change a few
of those. That might help you a bit :)

Yes, it works fine on my machine - it's everyone else who seems to have problems.

Perhaps there is such a component in your environment
tha you haven't included in the package, and this component
is necessary for the form to be displayed.

I agree. As the app is simple, I would try giving out a very similar
app that has _no_ 3rd party stuff (try to do somethiong similar in
stock VB), and see if that works. That way you can start to see
whether it's VB stuff, or 3rd party. This is not going to be easy.
I am always wary of 3rd party stuff. I have had soime horrid
"surprises" from it. However, this is not necessarily your situation
yet.
