    I've never had that happen in the years I have been using VB.
    I would suspect that either there is a problem with your install or a problem with the hardware on the PC in question.

    By convert I assume you mean compile.
    Not sure what you are referring to related to input file.
    An Exe can easily read data from a file so if it is not working then you are doing something wrong.
    Keep in mind that you must distribute data files in addition to the exe if you want it to read those files. Can't read what is not there.

    That message is telling you that the folder you are looking for does not exist.
    Most likely you have hard coded a path and filename and that path and file are not on the computer you are trying to run the program on.

    Your error does not happem when you generate the ,exe - The error is happening when you RUN the .exe.

    Look at the Form_Load event of the form you are displaying - it is probably somewhere in there that a path is being set - which does not exist.

    If you upload your project, there may be a way to help you.

    In the mean time, it is always frustrating when you first start learning a new programming language - hang in there - it always gets easier !
