Where does the exception occur? The exception is typically thrown when you
are passing an invalid value to a method/"function".

Does the program continue to run, or does it jump into one of your
Exception handlers? If it's the former, then the IDE is probably
watching for *any* exception, handled or not, and telling you about it.
So long as the program continues normally, you probably shouldn't
worry about it.

If it's the latter, examine the StackTrace in the Exception object,
looking for the last line of your code that executed before it rambled
off into the Visual Basic dll. That will be the line of code that's
causing the problem.

HTH,
