PC Forms: Gauge Custom Control Causes GP Fault (99568)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, when used with:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 2.0
This article was previously published under Q99568 SYMPTOMS
When you create a custom form using version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic
Forms Designer with the Gauge Custom Control from the Professional Edition
of Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 for Windows, a corrupt .EXE file
results. This .EXE file experiences a general protection (GP) fault at
random times in the THREED.VBX or VBRUN.VBX file.
CAUSE
This is a problem with Visual Basic, and can be attributed to the following
conditions:
- Having a structure with substrings
- Running a project from within Visual Basic at design time
RESOLUTION
Always compile .EXE files from a clean load of the project. If you have run
the project at design time, you have to save, exit, reload the project, and
then build the .EXE file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Professional Edition of
Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
