2551.0. "VB 4.0 16 bit and GPF" by MLNORO::LANDINI () Wed May 07 1997 12:21

    A client of mine has developed an application using Windows-95,
    Visual Basic 4.0 16 bit and ODBC Driver 2.0. 

    Randomly GPF on different DLL occur during the execution of operations 
    apparently similar. 
    For example
    VB caused a general protection fault in module OC25.DLL    at 0014:000002df
    "	"	"	"	"	 "	   OC25.DLL    at 0002:000022cc
    "	"	"	"	"	 "	   DA02516.DLL at 002d:00000044
    "	"	"	"	"	 "	   VB40016.DLL at 001d:00001864
    Have you any idea of which could be the reason of this problems? 

    Thanks,

    Well, with 16-bit VB4 applications the first step is to make sure you
    have v4.0a of VB. This fixed a lot of 16-bit bugs. Microsoft were very
    coy about this release. To get it complain to Microsoft about your
    problems. There is a note in here somewhere about ordering v4.0a from
    MS for about a $20 P&P fee.
    
    Cheers,
    Brian

I bought 4.0 pro... experienced a couple of bugs, reported one to MS. A
local MS rep called me, tooK my name and address, and they shipped me a 4.0a
CD --FREE--. The new disk arrived in about four days.

I was impressed.

Then some of the esteem leaked away when an MS rep called me from Redmond
-- about the same bug report --  and told me that she would send me a
new 4.0a CD for $5 shipping. So the left coast didn't know what the right
coast was doing.

But, hey - who am I to complain?
