Philip, If you were programming in C or Pascal, I would sure suspect a renegade pointer somewhere! Are you, by chance, using DLLs? If so, you might be passing an incorrect parameter type, or an uninitialized string. Just for laughs, zap the background communications and most, if not all other software, while doing some thorough tests. This will eliminate them at least. I have had a *few* problems, but not to the degree that you have experienced. Before making the final decision on the reliability of VB, you might want to write another app. Personally, I use VB for small-medium size projects and use TPW for medium-large "workhorse" projects. Maybe that's why I haven't run into your problem. – Ricks
