Asp Forum - Vc++ runtime library error - microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

Hi all,

We have an application in which we use OCX's (VsFlexGrid and MetaDraw)
and ADO with an access database.
Everything went well until Win7.
On the Win7 systems, we get from time to time an error from
VC++ Runtime Library:
This applications has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual
way. There is no application name and just an OK Button.

When I say 'From time to time', I mean I cannot repeat the error and it
comes maybe twice a day or so. Only on Win7, never on XP.

I have an "On Local Error Resume Next" error trapping
But the error doesn't seem to be trapped.

This is the code where I suppose the fault comes from.

On Local Error Resume Next
frm_input_order.MDraw.LoadPicture recTmp.Fields("Pic1"),
PIC_PICTURE, PICTYPE_DEFAULT
frm_input_order.MDraw2.LoadPicture recTmp.Fields("Pic2"),
PIC_PICTURE, PICTYPE_DEFAULT

frm_input_order.MDraw3.Clear

frm_input_order.MDraw3.LoadPicture recTmp.Fields("Pic3"),
PIC_PICTUREIMAGE, PICTYPE_JPGFILE

frm_input_order.MDraw3.Picture = frm_input_order.MDraw3.PictureImage
On Local Error GoTo 0

In fact, the drawings are read from an access database. The field type
for the drawings is 'OLE Object'

I did a lot of searching on Google and found a lot of pages on this
error but none of the solutions did help.

Is there any way of trapping thsi kind of VC++ error?

Thanks in advance

Chris

I doubt there is anyway to 'catch' the error in VB as I doubt the
VBRuntime is even aware an error has occurred.

I appreciate you said the problem doesn't happen on WinXP. Check the
file versions as noted in the article. The Hotfix is for the 7.0
version of those files - NO matter what platform they are installed
on.

Hi Ralph,

Are you sure this hotfix is for Win7?
The article goes about an application error on XP?
And what if the fileversion on Win7 is newer?

The article also state for the /GR an /MD compiler switches.

I compile either to P-Code are Native code with 'Optimze for fast code'
and 'Favor Pentium Pro' checked. Is one of those compiler switches
involved?

Thanks

Chris

Sometimes the same bug affects later versions of Windows without MS saying
so, so it doesn't hurt to try.

Then try to update the C++ runtimes. Search for the latest VC runtime
redistributable.

No. These switches are for the VC compiler.

I'll try to backup the files and install the hotfix anyway.

I already did but no change.
