    Windows Fails to Execute VB Program in IDE (How to Troubleshoot)

    1. I just created a simple VB Program and it worked fine.

    2. My main program executed fine in the IDE at around noon today. After shutting off computer and restarting, it will not execute in the IDE (No Changes we're made in the Program).
    My Error Log shows nothing.
    The Error is occuring just after StartUp
    (A breakpoint (F9) was placed on Form_Load and the Error Message occurred a second or two after it encountered the breakpoint.)

    The IDE appears to load all Forms and Modules, it is just the execution.

    FWIW still using Windows-10 offline.

    3. This link offers some insight BUT has Not solved it.

    Did you make any system changes since your last reboot? Any new software or something. They could have tried to change something that the vb6 ide was using and waited until the restart happened.

    Thanks for responding.

    Did you make any system changes since your last reboot?
    No.

    I shut everything down last night.
    This AM, rebooted system and first thing removed two (what I call temp modules) Modules, that I use to edit various things (e.g. Database)
    from the IDE (they're removed during production). Tried executing and working fine so far.

    Will Add them back in a minute to see what happens.
    The ERROR is being caused by those Modules being included.
    This is a very large program.

    Whether I'm running up against some line limitation (IDE Adds and Removes thes Modules fine) is unknown.

    If I figure out Anything Else, will Post Back this Thread.
