HELP ! Still same problem - VB shuts down
If Rocky's suggestion doesn't work, then a tried and tested method is to
comment out half of your offending subroutine and run it again. Then you'll
know in which half the problem statement lies. Do the same thing with that
half, and keep going until you have one statement remaining - your problem
statement. If that's an 'Open' method on an object, for example, then it's
possible that VB doesn't close it properly for you, or you're even trying to
open it in the wrong way.
Once you know exactly which statement is causing your problem, it's likely
it will be an obvious reason.
If that fails, then re-post and describe exactly which other app's execution
makes your app run ok.
Good luck!
