[AccessD] Bug Report

Well... In fact I may have found the culprit.  I commented out all of the
classes, including my framework form class and the crashing stopped.  Slowly
and painfully started uncommenting them one by one, testing each one about
25 times and found one class that seems to cause the crashing.  I am
continuing past that point, uncommenting all the rest one by one to see if I
can get them all (except that one) back in without bringing the crash back.
It's just painful, slow, piece by piece work.  

In the end Access shouldn't just close like it does, and it would be nice to
actually get MS to find and fix the bug behind my bug, but I also have to be
realistic...  ;-)

Hi John

OK. I can count to "a dozen classes" times 20 and all the combinations of
these 20 ...

How about creating a macro to load the form 25 times and beep when unloading
the form??

The size of the file is caused by the VB for all the controls.  No, no
graphics at all AFAIK.  MAYBE a button... Hmmm I just looked at it and yea,
I have graphics in the tabs - little pictures like can be found in buttons
generated by the wizards.  No pictures other than those.  I will certainly
take those out to see what happens.

BTW, I went in and commented out all of the classes loaded by the form and
the crashing has stopped.  At least it looks like it.  That is one of the
problems, you can open the form 19 times and the 20th it will close the
database.  So every time you make a change you have to do a TON of searches
(opening the form) before you are almost sure that you have managed to
change the symptoms.

Hi John

But at 390K I guess your form contains some graphics - can't you skip that
part? Also, if no code is run and the app still crashes, it looks like just
the loading of the form causes the crash. The reason could be loading of
graphics. Not likely, I know, but quick and easy to test.

That was cool.  The text file is 390 kbytes so it seems unliekly I can "scan
it closely"

And unfortunately, remember I said I had "pushed it out of the OnOpen"
- the
close is now back in the calling function that opens the form.  The truly
strange part is that there is no code left in that function, i.e. it just
exits the sub.

Sigh.  I was going to try retyping in the offending line of code to see if I
could clean the source stream.
