weird VB issue

denby · 31 Mar 2011 at 10:27

i made something in VB6 (i know its donkeys old) but still

when i run the project from within VB (using F5) it runs fine

it also compiles to EXE without issue

however once i click on the exe from the desktop it timers for a second and doesn't load ...it is however running in the task manager in the backround and using memory

what could this be??

thanks in advance

i dont have any loops in the form_load

would it be an idea to create a blank form as the startup just to see if the runtimes are registed properly...or wouldn't that tell me much?

i have created other programs with VB6 that have run but they dont use stuff like Winsock control or RTB etc

the program that doesnt load...it should when fully running ...join a channel on an irc server...it never gets that far...

is there a way to see how far into the code it is getting before it dies?

its around 1000 lines long

stupid program....why would it run and compile fine it makes no sense

theres only 15lines in the load event so fingers crossed
