VB5/MDI

[whg]

(I have an application that have 1 MDI form which is fired from an existing form)
I have have, 4 win98 (1st edition), 3 of them have office 97, dosent. Here's my situtation, 2 of the systems,(both have office 97) works fine. the other two (1 with and 1 without office 97) will freeze as the MDI form is called (ie idxMDI.Show). I have dropped debug statments all through this code and have found that the freeze comes as the code idxMDI.show executes, I have code at the mdi codes Load event first line and this never gets called. All systems were installed the same way with the install program. what is the systems missing if any?

It sounds as if there is a control on the MDI that it can't load. Is the correctly versioned OCX installed, plus are the OCX's dependency files on those machines (right versions).

I'll check the OCX's and versions. One thing I did notice, My maching is win98 version 4.10.1998 and I have put all of Microsofts upgrades on it. The stations that do work are all win98 second Editions and the ones that dont work are all 4.10.1998 (without any updates).So I'll dig deeper and see about those OCX's and versions.. Thanks

Well first I want to apologize for posting my message before really digging into the mater, When I got looking around I saw the problem. the other win98 stations did not have DCOM98 applied to them. Well it works ok now..
