Run Time Error 326

We are using VB 6.0.

We are in the practice of installing our applications on our server and then providing a shortcut to the individual PC's to access the program’s exe file. We usually have to install and then uninstall the program on the individual PC in order to register the applicable DLL and OCX files. This usually has worked with no problem at all.

Now, when following the above steps except for uninstalling the program from the individual PC, the program installed on the hard drive can be opened but when the shortcut to the server is used we get:
Run Time Error 326
"Resource with identifier 'VERSION' not found"

Can anyone help me with this problem? Our only solution is to install the program on each PC but then when changes are made, it has to be reinstalled on each one again and is very time consuming.

See if this will be to any help (i copied and pasted form the MSDN library from Visual Studio)




The resource with the specified ID doesn't exist in the resource file. This error has the following cause and solution:

You tried to use the LoadResString, LoadResPicture, or LoadResData methods to load a resource whose ID doesn't exist in the resource file associated with this project or .EXE file.
Change the reference to the resource ID to one that does exist, or remove the resource file from the project and add a resource file that contains the specified resource ID.

In other words, you loaded a resource with the ID "Version" which probably did not exsist. Check and see if you had maybe mispelled it in your Res file.

I had used a generic splash form that was included in VB 6.0. When I removed this form and used a new splash form created from scratch, the error disappeared.

I even tried calling the generic form later in the program rather then as the start up form and the same run time error occurred.

Does anyone know if there I need to reference a particular library in order to use the generic forms that are included with VB 6.0?

Thank you to the 2 people that did answer my question.
