need traceback from "has encountered an error and must close"

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9iZXJ0IFN0eW1h?=]

Hello All,
I am new to these forums and reasonably new to Visual Basic.net.
I have been converting a couple of visual basic 6 programs to VB.NET.
The programs began failing under windows Vista, so I used the facilities
of Visual Studio 2005 to convert them to .NET and then cleaned up the
errors. The applications now use both Flexgrid and the printing compatablity
library.

The applications run great under Vista (where they were compiled) and XP.
Windows 2000 is somewhat more problematic. On some machines they
work and others they get the dreaded "has encountered and error and must
close message". The windows 2000 machines have both .net 1.1 and .net 2.0
loaded and all windows update maintenance applied. The error report shows
that an "invalid operation" occured and lists the modules loaded.

If I could get a resonable traceback, maybe I could see what is missing
on the troubled machines. Either that or change my code to avoid the
problem.

Is there a way to get more information out of the error report? A traceback
to
where it was in my program would be nice.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

The least you can do is to set a Try catch block around the failing code
something as

\\\
Try
here is my failing code
Catch ex as exception
debug.writeLine ex.ToString
end try
///

The error will then be showed in your output window.

As a hint, try to get as soon to replace your msflexgrid by a datagridview,
as the msflexgrid is only giving trouble in Net. (It is not in the offical
VB namespace of Net but in the so called compatible namespace).

Hi Cor,

Thank you. However, it seems that I can not find the FlexGrid control in
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace:
