[RESOLVED] Runtime error 5

[shirishdawane]

Hello All,

I am using VB 6.0 with Win 2000 OS. My problem is that I am getting "Runtime Error 5" when I runs project exe on other machine(Win 2000)but it runs smooth on my machine(Win 2000).

On following Bold line, I am getting an error:

If txtHostID.Text <> vbNullString Then
        If Val(txtHostID.Text) >= 61569 And Val(txtHostID.Text) <= 63487 Then
            MsgBox "Invalid Host Game ID Number." & vbCrLf & "Range 0xF081-0xF7FF Reserved for Non Configured Games.", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Host Game ID Number"
            txtHostID.Text = vbNullString
            [B]txtHostID.SetFocus[/B]
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End If

Above code is in txtHostID_LostFocus() event.

Try useing the Validate event instead.

Private Sub txtHostID_Validate(Cancel As Boolean)
    If txtHostID.Text <> vbNullString Then
        If Val(txtHostID.Text) >= 61569 And Val(txtHostID.Text) <= 63487 Then
            MsgBox "Invalid Host Game ID Number." & vbCrLf & "Range 0xF081-0xF7FF Reserved for Non Configured Games.", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Host Game ID Number"
            txtHostID.Text = vbNullString
            Cancel = True
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanx Andrew.....its working

But I would like to know reason why it is happening?

I'm not sure why it didn't work. I've tried to reproduce the problem but it didn't seem to come up with the error. It might be a bug or something.
