Visual Basic 4 Out of Memory Problems

[Kayt 0]

I am running two seperate executable files generated from VB4 code. The applications work on machines running win 2000 and xp. I have not tested on NT or server 2000. The applications will not run on Server 2003 or XP for Tablet PC 2005- the only other two OS's that I have access to.

 

The errors I get are common to both applications on both OS's on which the applications will not run.

 

The error messages:

1) "Out of Memory" followed by "Run time error 91: Object Variable or With Block not set.' On debug the line 'Data1.Recordset.Index = SORT$' is indicated as the problem.

2) "Out of Memory" followed by "Run time error 2004: Out of Memory.' On debug the line 'Data1.Refresh' is indicated as the problem.

 

I get the out of memory error once for each time a connection to a databse is made. E.g. at one point a connection is made to 6 seperate databases. I get 6 memory errors followed by the run time error.

 

I am uncertain as to whether this is an OS issue, a data control issue, a case of horrible programming by the original programmer issue or something else.

 

I also get an out of memory error when trying to add a data control to a form. Properties for 'Connect' and 'Database Name' are 'Access' and ' settings.mdb' (shouldn't be an issue). 'Recordset Type = Dynaset'. When I try to set the recordsource property I get the 'Out of Memory' Error.

 

(I have had issues with this code and incorrect use of the 'option explicit' selection- I have no idea if this might also be causing some problems.)

 

Any light that you can shed is greatly appreciated- even if it's just to point me in the right direction to research my own answers!
