Thanks for the effort. I'm working on a rewrite of this area which I don't hold out much hope for but I won't know until I try. If it doesn't help I'll look into your suggestion. Thanks again

It does that too.

I thought that was a good idea. Tried it, no change.


Don't think I can do that because it fails on the execution of the Kill instruction.

I have confirmed it sometimes hangs when I step (F8) from Kill workingfile to Name tempFile As workingfile

It hangs at least one other place, maybe two.

Is there another way to delete a file?

Yes, seems to behave the same way.


Ascii files.

I commented out all On Error statements. Behavior is the same.

Since I haven't changed this utility in 16 years I can only assume the problem is caused by a Windows change.

I made this utility in 2004. I've used it about every 6-9 months since and it always worked until today. This time I hadn't used it for 18 months and it fails.

The utility goes through 300 or...

I forgot to thank you

I edited my previous post.

You were right. The thing that seems odd, when I hover over mCoords nothing appears before the dash sign.

FYI it was Google maps that changed, not the program.

Never mind. When I copied the line I failed to pickup the last parenthesis

Except for the 2 print statements and the boo statement this same code had been working for a week. Suddenly out of nowhere

the Left function does not work.

mCoords is defined as a String

Yes, I've just been clicking it away since Win 7. It has never caused a problem. I just wondered what is was.

Thanks for your reply.

I get this message every time I start any .vbp file. The thing I'm currently working on uses no components.

I've been getting when I load a .vbp fiIthis every since I installed on Windows 7. So, I got it on 8 and now 10. I can just click it away so because I use VB so seldom nowadays I've just let it go....

Dragging it down didn't help, but I could see it contained the properties. Dragging from the left to make it much narrower finally worked.

Thank you again

OK, I'll try this, but I can see it both ways. Clicking on that properties entry does the same thing as clicking on the hand.

I'd been there when hunting earlier. All that does is display this and I haven't figured out what it is.

Of course. Thank you.

I hate getting old and losing my memory.

I use VB rarely rarely. I used it very little about 6 months ago and before that it had been 3 years.

It use to be a form's properties were listed below the form name in the column on the right....

As Roseann Rosannadanna says, "It's always something."

I have two issues but I will deal with them in different posts.

No. Who's on second

You are correct sir. That was it. I must have done that a thousand times, but not for maybe three years. See how quickly old men forget.

Thank you

I am unable to understand anything from those replies. How does "Invalid link" relate to my question?

It's been so long since I've had to do this I may be doing something wrong.

I made a small ( trivial ) change. Then went to Project > Project Properties > Make and clicked OK. The Project...

So, is it your belief that no one uses P&DW anymore?

The same argument is true of VB6 itself but people still use it.

It's been a long time since I used the Package and Deployment Wizard. Also, I recently changed to Windows 8. I just tried to use it for a small utility. Everything seemed to work -- it put the...

Thanks for your reply.

I am running Setup.exe. It seems to be unpacking Setup1 into the Windows directory. I'm not doing it.

I have an extensively modified Setup1 for VB5 that I don't want to have to rewrite, so I am trying to use it with the VB5 Setup.exe to create a distribution package. I keep getting this error:

Yes, I figured out it was due to the undeclared variable last night, but was too tired to post a report. That also explains why I'd never seen it before. This was a quick and dirty mockup as a...

I had simply copied and pasted that into here. I hadn't put it in a hex editor, so here it is for real:

I've used random file output for years and have never had this problem. When I write out a random file VB is adding trash characters to the beginning of the file.
