Re: app crashes with winxp

Hi John,

The dialog box shown in your image indicates that an exception occurred
in your application. You can get more information about the exception by
debugging the application. To do this, either run the application from a
debugger (such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or the Microsoft CLR
Debugger that comes with the .NET Framework SDK), or press Cancel in the
exception dialog box. This gives you access to the exception's stack
trace. The stack trace indicates which method caused the exception.

If you need more help, copy-and-paste the stack trace into your next
posting.

Regards

John,

It seems that you are using an "external component"; probably an ActiveX
control. Maybe this ActiveX control is not Windows XP compatible?
