   Unexpected Error!!   
   05 Mar 06 20:36:54   
   
   From: donandjane@optusnet.com.au   
      
   A VB6 program that I created has been installed on a wide range of computers   
   and networks without any problems.  Win 95, Win 98 and XP so far..   
   Occasionally, however, the function refuses to start on some systems, with   
   the only response being a critical error: 'Unexpected Error!', without even   
   trying to run.   
      
   Well!  I didn't expect it, either!   
      
   Re-compiling and re-installing doesn't change anything.  The program is   
   nothing really special.  Reading, modifying and rewriting files is all it   
   does and all the files it needs to read are pre-written during install..   
      
   Does anyone have any idea what sort of problems commonly produce such a   
   message?   Is the range of suspects far too great to even guess?  Why does   
   it start OK on most computers but refuses on one or two?   
      
   Frustrating!!!  A meaningful error message would help.
