Peculiar Thing

Today i obesrved 1 peculiar thing in my vb project. it's not a serious problem actually, but surprised me.

From the exe of my application i can access 1 public function defined in the .bas module.

but from the vb ide, i can't access the same function, it gives some memory exception failing all my expert(!) error handlers.

if i define the same function in the form module, both exe and project(vb ide) can access that.

any idea y this can happen?

It isn't your program, it sounds like an issue with the IDE itself. I have never encountered that particular one, but it seems like the stability of the IDE might degrade over several months of use. I base this observation on my own experience, and some other posts on this forum. If it only happens in this one instance, and you can live with it, then live with it. Otherwise, you would probably need to reinstall VB.
