Hello All,

I have the following Problem: Anybody out there with some clues ??

I have a multiple document project (developed in VB5 SP3) that is able to
open an MDI-child upon button click.
I have implemented an error handler to handle all exceptions.

The  program opens 4 childs with no errors.
The 5th open-click results in a runtime error 6 "Overflow" even though I
have an error handler that should deal with these errors.

This is the code snibbet:
'#############################

 On Error GoTo ErrorHdl:

   MsgBox "entry"

   Set frmD = New frmDocument
   frmD.ProjectName = ProjectName
   frmD.Caption = ProjectName
   frmD.Show

   MsgBox "exit"

'##############################

The application does not return to the "exit" point on the 4th open but
stops with RTE6 instead.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Ole

I suspect the error occurs in the Form_Load event -- perhaps paste the code
from there.

Hello Doug.
I have set a breakpoint to the form load event but at the last call (the 4th
one) this breakpoint never get reached. It must be a problem somewhere in
the Windows depth - I'm affraid. VB simply stops working and dives down to
some depth and does not return.

Hi Ole:

Can you reproduce a sample app the reproduces the problem?  The app should
have no code in it, except to load new form instances.  If you can get that
far, then you can start cutting and pasting portions of your code bit by
bit, testing each time after you add some code -- eventually you should add
the code that is causing the problem.

Doug.

Hello Doug,

Thanks. Yes I need to follow that road but my application is REALY huge and
fairly complex (It is a complete Development IDE for PalmPilot SW
development) and this will certanly take a while. I'll let you know about
the results once I have found out more details.

Thanks
Ole

This might seem a silly question, but is frmD.ProjectName ?

The code seems to work for me except for this little detail.

vmlf.

Sorry, missed a word in the last post that changes the meaning of the
message.
What I wanted to say was:
What id frmD.ProjectName?

vmlf.

The frmD.ProjectName is a public string inside the MDIChild that holds the
projectname (that comes from the command line argument) that has to be
worked on in THAT particular MDI child.

The problem I have happens even when I remove this line of code and set this
to be "noname1.prj" or similar

Cheers
Ole

What is in your error handler?

Here is the code of my error handler but if I set a breakpoint to the "If
Err.Number" line the breakpoint NEVER gets triggered.

ErrorHdl:

   If Err.Number = 713 Then
      MsgBox "Could not find OCX File", vbOKOnly, "ERROR"
      Exit Sub
   Else
      MsgBox  "Error on open Project occured.
   End If

End Sub
