[RESOLVED] runtime error 7 out of memory

[kennyw]

hello all
I'm new here and having a problem with my vb6 code .
i have 2 forms in the project one of them containing msflexgrid .
the project works fine in my computer , but in my second computer i'm getting runtime error 7 out of memory when the program loads the form with the msflexgrid ,
when i'm remove the flexgrid from the form it works with no errors .
any idea what can i do to solve it ?
thanks

... but in my second computer i'm getting runtime error 7 out of memory when the program loads the form with the msflexgrid...

Does that happen at runtime or in design? If first then is there chance to see what you do when form loads?

[MartinLiss]

Are you actually installing the program on your friend's computer or did you merely copy forms, etc.?

it's happen in run time only - when the program loads the form with the grid ( the other form running fine ) ,
when i'm removing the grid it's running fine and the form loads .
when the form loads i'm just initialize some variables .

i'm running the exe of the project ,
both computers has windows xp but only my computer has visual studio installed .

You can't do that with VB - you must make an installation package and install the program on the other computer.

I've moved this to here because 99% of the time you need to create a set of setup files and install them on the other computer. To do that you can use the P&D Wizard that comes with VB, Inno, or any of several other programs.

to use the Package & Deployment wizard, comes with Visual Studio, goto;

Add-Ins Menu->Add-In manager.

double click the Package & Deployment Wizard. It will show Loaded on its right...

umm, this will take long time. Please check the Distributing your Application page on MSDN. Explained using VB 6 as reference.

to use Inno Setup compiler, download the Inno Setup and a script writers from the Third party files. most of the script writers are free. it also includes a step-by-step instruction manual on how to use Inno.

there also NSIS Install system by Nullsoft. it is another hassle-free packaging system.

post back if you face any problem.
