pretty self explanitory, whenever i try to create my exe it closes, i have downloaded some source code and tried to create an exe of those and it doesnt work either

This is not a application deployment question...

Does this happen with all projects when you attempt to create an exe?

no but most, I have downloaded some tutorials, one on an irc chat room example, worked fine when i debugged it, tried to make it an exe so me and my friend could test it, and bam it says writing exe and just closes

Check the add-in's and references you are using. Let me know what you find.
What components does it use?

Can you post the project?

theres the file, its not mine, its from sourcecodeplanet.com, I was trying to compile it to try it with my friend, also if I try to view the form it closes down

go to your add-ins and disable ALL of them and see if you can then compile. I used to have a problem where every single time i tried to close VB it crashed with an error report. It was an add-in doing it. If you determine the problem is an add-in, you can reenable them one at a time until you find the problem.

still closes

must be a active x problem then. Have you downloaded the latest patches? there are ironically six patches available for vb6

thank you so much man, it works now, I was getting so frustrated but now I am happy

Guess that should be the first question asked to all the newbies... Is you VB and OS up-to-date???

You are quite welcome. Positive responses are like cheese to a mouse.
