    Does this make the IDE blow up for you?

    Start VB6 like you are creating a new project.

    Go right away to the IMMEDIATE window.

    Type in .cellback and hit the ENTER key.

    Does this give you

    Visual Basic has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    But is hardly a problem - it only indicates that you have invalid syntax, that's all.

    Re: Does this make the IDE blow up for you?

    I was doing a ^F to search for .cellback when the IMMEDIATE window grabbed the focus - I just thought it was neat that I could cause VB to blow up with such a simple thing as typing garbage in the IMMEDIATE window.

    Then I thought to try it in a "new project" to see if it was a VB issue not related to the .VBP I was working on...

    Problem appears to be "very local" so I suggest to try to reinstall vb entirely.

    It was just a curiosity - no value to the issue at all...

    If you knew the amount of VB's and VS's and FW's and compact FW's installed on this laptop you would shudder

    Currently I cannot get MANAGEMENT STUDIO for SQL 2005 to work properly - I've started using the old SQL 2000 QUERY ANALYZER to get around the problem...

    Next machine I get I have to be better prepared for a nuke-and-reload the OS/app's cycle.
