VB6 application silently terminates

Asked by bugsnbre2 in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: , ,

I have a VB6 application that I wrote years ago.  It uses a Microsoft Access database, via DAO.  I have since lost the source code.  The application ran fine on their Windows 98 machines.  Recently, they upgraded to Windows XP.  The application installs and runs fine only on 1 PC now.  The same installation process used on the first machine was repeated on the other machines.  However, after my splash screen pops up the application just terminates.  I do not receive an error message or anything.

My question is: Has anyone else experienced this behavior with VB6 and Windows XP?  If so, what was done to correct it?  I know I don't have a lot to go on.  If I had my source I could put message boxes in there to find out where the program is blowing up.  I guess that could lead me to my second question.  Is there a decompiler for VB6 executables?Start Free Trial
