Executable does not

I can run a program inside of VB just fine, however when I create an executeable it stops midway. How can I trouble shoot this issue?

Do you know the error code that it reports or does it just kill itself?

you mean when you make the exe it never finishes making it? does it give you an error message?

I do not get an error code. What I am doing is on form load I shell out to a program, appactivate that window and run sendkeys. The shell and appactivate works but the code seems to stop there. The form never loads and the rest of the code seems to stop. I then have to go to Task Manager to kill the program. Like I said if I run the same program in VB it works great! I don't know how to troubleshoot code once you create a executable.
