How can I find out what's wrong?

[Jacob438]

I need help figuring out my problem. I already posted my problem on here somewhere, but haven't received any replies. So now I need to know if anybody can help me debug my code.

The problem I have only occurs when the browser containing my activeX control is destroyed (closed) using Scheduled Tasks. Is there any way I can simulate this while running within VB, so I can have access to the debugger?

When scheduled tasks tries to close the browser containing my control IE crashes and wants to send an error report to microsoft (although I have sent several of these error reports, it's highly unlikely they will be able to do anything for me). Since it seems nobody knows what my problem is, I just need some help as to how to figure out what my problem is. Thank you,

Oh yeah, sometimes when the browser containing my control is closed, I get a VB MessageBox that pops up and says something like:
Run Time Error 7
Out of Memory

make sure you have option explicit in the form(s) and mod(s) file.

[Jacob438]

yeah, I just double checked everything, and I do indeed have Option Explicit at the top of the UserControl and at the top of each Module I use. Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have any other ideas?

I have never used active x controls before so I won't be able to help you.

What is the control about. those it use apis. on which line does the message come up.

[Jacob438]

The control is a simple one that will send requests to an ASP page and when it gets the correct response, it will open IE on the client's machine and point that browser to a separate ASP page. I'm using it for automated load testing.

Anyways, the API's it uses are:
OpenProcess
TerminateProcess
CloseHandle
Sleep
SendMessage
GetVersionExA
CopyMemory
StringFromGUID2

The last two in the list are only used to mark my control as safe for scripting and initialization and the code was taken from:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q182598

Anyways, my program doesn't seem to "hang" on any line. If it did I'd know where to start. See, if I close the IE browser that contains my control by clicking on the X at the top right... it closes fine. If I close the browser by terminating it's process (through Task Manager) it closes fine. If I close the browser by ending it's task (also through Task Manager) then it closes fine. The only time I have a problem with my control is when it is closed by the Scheduled Tasks thinger in win2k. All the machines I'll be implenting this on will be on win2k, so I need this fixed.

I need to schedule the IE browser to open and close my control so I don't have to go to 100 machines every night to start up IE.

Any ideas?

Did you get this sorted out? More importantly did you get safe for scripting sorted out as I can't seem to get http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q182598 working at all
