    Unhappy Text box making VB crash

    I'm having this problem:

    I draw a textbox onto my form and set the scrollbars property to vertical and the MultiLine property to True.

    When I run the program it works fine until I press the return key. The program freezes and I have to restart VB.

    What causes this and how can I prevent it? I fear that it may be a problem with my VB but I would like to know if anyone else had had this problem.

    Thanx in advance...

    I also tried the same and encountered no problems. Are you running VB6? If so, try running service pack 4 or 5.

    Can you "unfreeze" the app by clicking Ctrl-Break? If so, you are probably in some sort of loop and you can step through the code in debug mode to see what is going on.

    Unhappy Mmmm...

    There's no loops...

    Where can i get service packs? Can I download them for free?

    I'm runnin VB6 - I might try re-installing it and see if that helps

    If you could zip up your complete project and add it as an attachment, then maybe someone else could try it and see if they have the problem or not. That would tell for sure if your VB is broken.

    Smile Solved

    Finally solved the problem - thanx for all the help anyway - I think it had something to do with the fact that I was renaming a lot of files and I must have corrupted the form file in some way - I dunno...

    Thanx anyway,
    Gulliver.
