Weird Error

[kovan]

this is the weirdest thing i came across

here is the desription
======================

when i complile my program and run it on this machine (it has vb on it)
evrything works fine

when i take my code and run it on another machine

i get "invalid procedure or call" error
on following

Load frmDispute
frmDispute.Show
Call frmDispute.NewDispute

the error is on the call for precuder

yes the procedure is public..

now if i make it te following

            
            Load frmDispute
            frmDispute.Show
            msgbox "this will prevent the error"
            Call frmDispute.NewDispute

i wont get an error on that if i put a simple msgbox before the call of the procedure
anyone ever came across this?

thanks

Yes, I have had that happen before. I had to recompile the entire project.

Cheers,

what do yo mean recompile the project
i keep taking FRESH .exe to the other computer
it works with a messagebox before it
yet it crashes if there is no message box

so how do i fix
grr this i hate

Try putting

DoEvents

where you have the Msgbox line; eg;

Load frmDispute
frmDispute.Show
DoEvents
Call frmDispute.NewDispute

that might help.

well without .show it worked to a certain point
then i started having problems since some of my procedures assing other values to objects in that form.. so that didn't work

BUT

i used DoEvents
as suggested by Buzby and everything seems to work fine now

THANK YOU so much

so the keytrick is doevents (for those that need it)

I've been getting the same error message. My application works on most machines but on a small number I get this error message.

If anyone has any idea at all whats causing it, I'd be very grateful!

[kovan]

since doevents fixed the problem
i am guessing the machine thats causing errors doesnt finish everything in the queue before it does that and causes the error

but the doevent fixes it..
