A2K Runtime Crashes on DoCmd.Quit

Andy,

Just had a thought... I wonder on the new machines is it 64 bit and the
older machines 32 bit?

Tony;

Thank You again for replying.

global variables... Recordset.
Do remember somewhere along the line getting the same type of crash w/
Recordset.Requery. Not the case in this situation.

Also not sure I understand "global variables". Searched Help for "global
variables" and "set global variables". Nothing obvious that would pertain
to this.

Will remove VBA for Extensibility.

Tony; think we're on the wrong path. We have a existing Install CD. The
same CD that installed this application including "ART" successfully twice
before. Once shortly after the computer was purchased. Once again when
the machine had to be "Rebuilt" about a year and a half ago. This time
the app starts and gets a Run-Time crash at a fundamental command:
DoCmd.Quit.

Thinking something changed with the machine. Microsoft has brought out a
lot of patches for Windows XP in a year and a half and ART has been
updated.

In the early 1990s a local company was selling a DOS based DBASE Program.
Friends with the owners of 3 companies that bought it. I was able to
bring it Forward all the way to early Windows XP machines. Each time a
new computer was needed the DOS program was copied onto the H/Drive and it
ran.
Then on the last 2 new computers, (1-Dell, 1-H/P) the program won't even
open. When the Shortcut Icon is dbl-clicked to start the program all You
see on the screen is a "Blink" and the program closes. Set the
"Compatibility" options for the shortcut and still the same thing. Called
Dell and H/P. Got the "It isn't our program" answer.

In both cases don't think its the program. Think an update to Windows
changed "Something". Same CD. Same Install.

Your thoughts?

Andy

At first the full code (Included Below) wasn't included because I didn't
want to make You kind people read a lot of redundancies.

The Error Traps have been in place since the app was originally created.
Each trap does 2 things. Shows the Access Internal Error msg and
displays
the name of the Command that failed.
Neither displays any message.
All that shows is:
"Execution of this application has stopped due to a run-time error."
"The application can't continue and will be shut down."

Then I'm not sure. Is there some code that sets global variables such
as a database or recordset or some such on startup?

"I've remove the last reference, VBA for Extensibility.. It's
automatically inserted by Access when you convert a database to a
newer version. Although that could've been from A97 to A2000 or
something like that. IOW quite a while ago."

The application was started and completed in Office Developer 2000 using
Access 2000.
So it has never been brought forward from an older version of Access.
We did re-install the app once before on the same computer. The machine
was
"Rebuilt" from scratch about a year ago.

Fair enough. But have you tried removing that reference anyhow?

Tony, one last thing. What is "IOW"?

In Other Words.

Andy

Full Code for both Commands in frmLogin

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdExit_Click
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt

Those Dims are automatically Variant type of fields not that that
should make a difference in this problem.

Msg = MsgBox("Either:" & vbCrLf & Error$ & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Or this command ''cmdExit_Click'' doesn't understand Your input.
"
& vbCrLf & _
" Click the OK button" & vbCrLf & _
" Try the steps again." & vbCrLf & _
" If You Need Help, click the OK button then press the F1 key.",
vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "OurCompany")

For now just comment the above lines and put in

msgbox Err.description

and see what happens.
