Visual Basic :: "Out Of Memory" While Making An .exe

"out Of Memory" Error When Making Exe
Well first let me say that I am new to vb. Anytime I go to make my first program an exe I get "out of memory" error. I`m not quite sure what 'memory' they mean (like if it ment to save the program, which I have deffinatly enough space left). My program is a very simple byte to mb converter and I would really like to figure this out as it is my first one. I will post the source code below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text2.Text = Text1.Text / 1048576
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only componets in my program are a Command Button, and two Text Box`s. This is really making me go crazy as I cannot figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope I explained everything clearly, Thank you.

Making RichTextBox "unclickable" But "disabled"?
Kind of vague, I'm sure...

Is there any better way to prevent a user from entering text in a rich text box than simply diverting focus whenever the box is clicked?

Method "SaveAs" Or "Save" Of Object "Excel.Workbook" Does Not Work.
Hi people.
I did for a long time a program that uses excel automation, so that from a template will create a final file with some data pulled from the database (with ADO). At the end and when the Excel file is ready to be saved I got in a couple of computers some problems. In the whole LAN have XP, but in these 2 computers we have SP2. I have checked the rights and are OK (I have even tried to save the Workbook under the Temp folder and also the same problem).
Working with Office 2003 (SP1).
I have searched in internet about any bugs but I don´t find anything.
Any ideas.
Thanks for your time

How To Change Boolean Field From Displaying "0" And "-1" To "Yes" And "No"
Hey there,

I have a data report, which displays a few fields from an Access table, one which is a boolean. At the moment if the boolean value is True, then on the data report it displays "-1", and if False "0".

How can I change this so it displays "Yes" if true and "No" if False?

Would be really grateful for any help.
Thanks.

Extract Local Names For "OK", "Cancel" And "Apply"
Hi!

I noticed that some programs written in C++ have an English language, but the captions of the buttons "OK", "Cancel" and "Apply" are in German, Swedish or whatever localized Windows version the user utilizes. Any idea how to obtain the captions of those buttons in VB? The only method which comes into my mind is to get the locale ID and have an array with strings for the the various language versions, but I doubt that those programs do it in that way.

Regards,
Sebastian

Pleez, Read This!!! Matter Important! "Printing In "DOS Mode" Using "Shell" -not Happening, I Wonder
Hi

[I had to repost it since I have not received any replies for my earlier post]

I have a problem.

Following is the code :

Shell("c:windowscommand.com /c type " & App.path & "matrix.txt >prn")

where App.path is C:XYZ

when the above line is executed, the contents of "matrix.txt" is not printed on the printer. Instead, control just passes on to the next line.

So, to find out why, I modified the line thus.

Shell("c:windowscommand.com /K")

The above command takes me to the "command prompt". Here, when I give the command "type c:xyzmatrix.txt >prn", which is what the vbcode does, I get the message "file creation error".

So, I have identified the problem. Can anyone tell me why this "File creation error" occurs, And how to solve the problem?

Thanks for reading through.

I am creating an Explorer-type Listview to display the files in a directory, and one piece of info I need to know how to obtain is the file "type" (i.e., "doc" = "Mircosoft Word Document", "xls" = "Microsoft Excel Worksheet", etc.). Is there an API, or does anyone have a technique to do this? Thanks.

Terminal Em To Embedded Device, Runtime Error 7 "Out Of Memory"
All,

I've had to get a terminal emulator together for work, supporting an embedded device. I've got everything working, but keep getting a "Runtime Errror 7, Out of Memory" any time I "stress test" the terminal or the terminal is left running for a long time. My stress test involves repeatedly sending a string from an embedded device at a high rate.

To start, I grabbed the example terminal emulator code from the VB6 pro examples section and modified it to my needs. As I run and stress test the program, I get the Out of Memmory error in the MSComm comEvReceive. Here is my code in this case statement.

**********************************************************
Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent
' Event messages.
Case comEvReceive

If LCase((StrConv(Buffer, vbUnicode))) = "b" Then trapsig = True
If trapsig Then

End If

1. Install the ActiveX Control Pad for FM20.DLL(SP?) problem.
2. Initialized the common controls on form load. (InitCommonControls)

3. Used PDW to install executable locally.
4. Compiled the executable to PCode and Native

Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will post more code on request.

Error Message "Memory Cannot Be Read" After Run Macros In Word.
Hi,
I have a word template which is composed of a series of macros to create documents with standard format. However, after I execute those macros, I will get error message about memory allocation problem such as "The instruction at xxxxx referenced memory at xxxxx. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program. " in windows 2000 or page fault error in windows 98.
I would like to know how I can solve this problem by (maybe) redoing the macro or by other solution. I don't have a clue where should I start. Please could somebody help me? Thank you.

VB6 Memory "leak" When Calling An Oracle Stored Procedure?
Hey,

I would appreciate some help on this one, if possible...

When I call an Oracle 9i stored procedure that returns a REF CURSOR from VB6 I get what seems a memory "leak". Memory is allocated by the .exe to hold the recordset but is not immediately released when the recordset is closed, as expected. Give the machine a half hour or so and the memory alloacted to the exe will slowly drop to normal. However, I require immediate memory deallocation as we're talking about big recordsets of 100s of Megs. Interestingly, if I don't use the Stored proc and query the table directly using a "conn.Execute" then memory will be allocated and then instantly deallocated as per normal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---Stored proc (returns a large recordset)---

TYPE csResultSet IS REF CURSOR;

PROCEDURE Test (outCursor OUT csResultSet)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN outCursor FOR ('SELECT * FROM X');
END Test;

--- VB calling code ---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
With conn
.Mode = adModeShareDenyNone
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;User ID=/; Password=; Data Source = xxx"
.Open
End With

Set rs = conn.Execute("Test")

rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope someone can give us a clue to what is going on because I'm going around the twist even more than I normally am,

cheers,
James

How To Free Memory Occupied By "LONG Or INT TYPE" Variables In VB?

How to free memory when you have too many "LONG or INTEGER" type variables?

I know you can use "ERASE" command to free memory occupied by arrays. But it does not work for "LONG or INTEGER" type variables.

Memory Usage Of Different Data Types With "MSGBOX"- Resolved
Does the "MSGBOX" function coerce all values into a Variant String Type?

VB Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()Dim lngVal As Long, intVal As IntegerDim dtVal As Date, strVal As StringstrVal = "ABCD"lngVal = CLng(12345678)intVal = CInt(1234)dtVal = Now MsgBox strValMsgBox lngValMsgBox intValMsgBox dtValEnd Sub

Do the four "Msgbox" functions use the same amount resources or is "Msgbox intVal" the least resource hungry?

"Out Of Memory - Too Many Global Symbols , Constant And Variables " Error In VB 3.0
I am facing some problem in Compiling a VB 3.0 project . When I try compliling the project then I am getting the following error -

"Out of Memory - too many global symbols"

Apart from this , another error that I am getting that says -
"The *.FRM files cannot add any more lines of code" . ( the exact words may be wrong - but this was the intent of the Message )

I have observed that I get these error if I try to add some EVENT HANDLERS , SUBROUTINES or FUNCTIONS to a *.FRM file .

I have never faced these problems while working on small sized VB 3.0 projects but for large sized projects as this particular one ( 4.25 MB - 28 FRM files & 25 BAS files) this problem is easily reproducable ( is it that in VB3.0 there is a limit to the size of code that we can add in *.FRM files for large sized projects )

I was building my project by keeping all the source files ( FRM , FRX , BAS ) and the MAK file directly under c:/ ( Root directory ) - but still I am facing this problem .
Even Restarting the System , trying it out in different machines & different O.S ( WIN 95 , WIN NT & WIN 2000 ) gives the same problem.

Can someone help me ...........

Problem With "Direct Memory Access To Do Graphics" By BillSoo Class BCHPicArray

So, when I try to use method

the error rises and array
BCHPicArray.clsPicArray.Data()

If I set preloaded Picture in Picture1 all is OK.
Maybe, I need first to save the pic on disk, but it is not the best workaround.
So, I do not understand where the memory leak occurs.

Resolution For "Insufficient Memory" In MSWord 2003
Here's the information I've found on this nag message along with working code.

Initial Problem:
Long-running macros in MSWord 2003 fill up the internal UnDo queue, resulting in "word has insufficient memory" messages at intervals. In my case, the messages came up approximately every 15-30 seconds, turning an unattended batch process into an interactive process.

Solution:
1)Clean out the hidden elements of the bookmarks collection at the beginning of the process. (See the StripHiddenBookmarks macro below.) For my purposes I chose to erase all bookmarks so the routine would start fresh.

2)In some routine that is called fairly frequently, insert the following two commands:

Application.ActiveDocument.UndoClear
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone

In my case, I put the commands in the routine that tests for whether the end of the document has been reached. I've included the code below in case someone finds it useful.

macro from Microsoft

Code:
Sub StripHiddenBookmarks()
Dim i As Long
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.ShowHidden = True
For i = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count to 1 Step -1
If Left$(ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(i).Name, 4) = "_Toc" Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(i).Delete
End If
Application.ActiveDocument.UndoClear
Next i
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.ShowHidden = False
End Sub

A Question For Guru - Special Textbox With "Memory"
Dear All Friends,

I have a special interest in an interesting and useful tricky technique that all you may have come across. The textfields in IE can "memorize" commonly / recently typed texts - when you enter the first few characters, the "combo" will drop a list of strings typed in the past. Then the user can just press Tab to complete the sentence or use the mouse to select a suitable item to complete. That's very convenient. I am building a search form for a client record in a database. I think the user would like this much.

I wonder how can this be done? Are there some special controls available for this purpose or the developer needs to use a file or database to cache all those strings entered in the recent past.

HELP: "Out Of Memory" Error (and More) When Starting Visual Basic 6.0
Let me first start by saying that I am using WinXP and have been working with Visual Basic 6.0 for a few weeks now without any problems. Everytime I am done with it, I save the project and close the Visual Basic 6.0 window.

I wanted to work on my project last night, so I double-clicked on my desktop icon for Visual Basic V6.0 to open it up which I always did before) but this time I get the following errors (shown in order as they come up):

Error 1) Out of Memory : Continue? (I click YES button)
Error 2) Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set: Continue? (I click YES button)
Error 3) Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set: Continue? (I click YES button)
Error 4) Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set: Continue? (I click YES button)
Error 5) Automation Error Catastrophic Failure (I click OK button)
Error 6) Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set: Continue? (I click YES button)

After error (6), the Visual Basic 6.0 window does come up and I can open my project, edit the project, click RUN to test/debug my project and save my project.

Can someone please tell me what in the world is going on? Why do I have these errors all of sudden on opening up the application and what should I do to correct the problems?

Also, there were two other things I noticed:

- I tried to access the MSDN Library for Visual Basic 6.0 (via the Help menu) but discovered that the help library has disappeared. The other MSDN libraries (Visual C++ , etc..) were still there, but the Visual Basic 6.0 one was gone. A window gets displayed telling me to reinstall the library from disc

- When I first started my project, I added some controls via the Components menu option. Two of these controls(RICHTX32.OCX and COMDLG32.OCX) I added but never used yet. I decided to use a richTextBox last night and realized that the richTextBox icon in the control window (or is it called the component window), as well as the Common Dialog icon, were changed to a plain white folder icon. Usually these icons would be seen as image icons. Anyway, I tried to drag a richTextBox in the Form and was told that it could not found (or something like that).

Making An Image "slide" Accross The Screen...
Hey,
I have an image that covers a set of drop downs, and when the image is clicked, it jumps out of the way. The way i did it was to record a macro and then hold down the arrow key so it gives a load of points were the image moves. Is there any way in the VBA that i could make it "glide" accross instead of jump straight accross using some sort of timer or something...im new to VB so im not entirely sure how to go about it...here is a small bit of the code used to make the object move (the bit at the top is just to make it infront of the pic it slides over...):

Code:
Dim clicked As Boolean

Sub AMD_Move_Right()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 127").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.ZOrder msoBringToFront
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 125").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.ZOrder msoBringToFront
If clicked = False Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 125").Select

Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 0.75

Making "URLDownloadToFile" Check For Updated File.
When i use the URLDownloadToFile API call, it downloads the last version that was downloaded (ie that would be stored in temporary internet files). The only way to make it download the new version is to use system cleanup to delete the tempory internet files.

Is there a way to make it download the file without checking for it in the internet cache first? (I dont want to have to delete the files if i can avoid it...)

Also this function causes the window to freeze at times, which is not ideal. I have tried placing doevents where i can but this doesnt help much. Is there any way to fix this?

Corrupt Variables And "memory Error"
Hi People

I would REALLY like comments on the following, even if no one can give me a solution!

Further to my other post about Word corrupting variables, I have modified the code, but not changed anything to do with variables i.e. I still use:

ActiveDocument.Variables.Add name:="xxx", Value:=yyy
(where yyy is a value generated by the code)

The new code gives slightly different results i.e. Word crashes with the following message:

Winword.EXE Application Error

The instruction at “0x308e05a0” referenced memory at “0x0182a27a”. The memory could not be “written”. Click OK to terminate etc.

Note this is NOT my code, it is Word. I understand this message appears when Word tries to access a memory area where it is not allowed i.e. Word wants to save my variables where it shouldn’t. My previous post’s error description ties up with this, as it is obvious that Word is not sorting the variables out properly.

Sorry, I should have said this only occurs at work on 4 computers, using XP, NT4, Win2000. Three computers at home (XP, Me) are all fine.

Some more interesting things:

I transferred the dot file with the code to a work’s machine, double clicked on it, Word opened. Even if I don’t run the code (or even touch any key!) when I close Word I get the above error message. I close Word, but the computer is stuffed and I have to restart (so much for Win 2000 stable memory management!).

With great difficulty (this long post would be much worse if I went into all that!) I have added my code to two of the work’s computers. I did this by commenting out the “variable add name lines”, opening the dot file, going in to VBA and copying over the code/form to the normal.dot template. Save VBA, close Word. Open Word, remove comments from variable line, save VBA. Code works fine (yes, it all works perfectly). Opening documents I have made on other machines reveals the correctly stored variables!

Thus, the mere presence of the “add variable lines” will cause a crash (i.e. without compiling or running), unless they are “made” in the machine that then runs the code.

The only differences between work and home is home has Office 2000 SP3 and I think work SP1. Work is also networked.

Someone commented that similar problems occurred with Office 97, but surely 2000 (all versions) has it sorted??

I don’t fancy personally visiting all the computers I was hoping this would be used on to carefully integrate the code!!!

Excel VBA Error "memory Could Not Be Read"
Dear friends,
I have the simplest of the forms I created using VBA in excel. The file is attached for reference.
It works fine. The problem arises when I close the file after I have run the form 6-7 times.
I get the error "The instruction 0x0202a877 referenced memory at 0x0202a877. The memory could not be read"
Please suggest what I should do to get rid of this error.
Thanks a bunch

Clipboard.GetData Gets "Out Of Memory" Error
To All:

I have a program which captures a graphic image currently in the clipboard and saves it to a file. Most of the time it works perfectly. Occasionally, the image which has been copied to the clipboard is quite large. When the image is large, I sometimes get an "Out Of Memory" error. The statement having the problem is:

imgSave.Picture = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)

I've isolated the problem further to just:

Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)

What is causing the problem? I can manually paste the image into word, etc., so I know that it is sitting in the clipboard (in fact, my program checks to make sure the clipboard is containing an image)

On a couple instances where it failed, I rebooted the system and it worked, but I have one example where no matter what I do, it still has the "Out Of Memory" problem ...

FWIW: I have 1.5GB of swap, 1GB of memory and not a lot going on with the machine and I still sometimes get the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

How To Trace VB6 Error "memory Could Not Be Read".
From a few (not all) of my clients, I'm getting the old:

The instruction as "0x..." referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

This is an OS trapped error and not a trapable error in my VB6 app. Which usually indicates some dependancy (DLL) along the way is not installed or registered correctly on the client machine and/or that DLL has crashed and failed. I'm not able to reproduce in my dev environment so I'm certain this is a deployment/install problem -- aka DLL Hell.

Is there any tool I can install on my client PC to help me trace more specifically what the trigger is for this error? About the only other option I can think of is to hard code a trace option that logs every method function that is entered to a file (a huge file at that).

If someone knows of any tools that can help with situations like this, please let me know.

Thanks, Rob.

MS Word App, Memory "read" Error
I was commissioned to write a VB6 App that takes an ASCII data file, parses it then create a MS Word file.
I got it working perfectly with the help of some people here.

I sent a demo to by the buyer who says it works in his comp.
But when he sent it to his users they report this error:

Code:
TidesToMSWord.exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x0000000". The memory
could not be "read"
Click on Ok to terminate the program
Click on Cancel to debug the program

Checking on this type of error I've found these possibilities:
1. Users comp has a bad memory stick
2. Users comp has a virus
3. Users OS is corrupt
4. A required component is missing.

Could there be more causes?

I'm looking at the only one I can do anything about, number 4.

Could they be getting this error because they don't have the needed VB6 files?

I'm programming on WinXP with OfficeXP.
The buyer says that he and his users have Win2k and Office2K.

The application is using the Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library.
Is that lib compatible with Office2K?

If it isn't, my only other choice is to recompile on a comp running Word97 with the Word 8.0 Object Library.
And I've already found problems converting the code.

Would the Word 8.0 Object Library work with Office2K?
Should I fight my way through changing the app or have the buy check his comps for the 1st three possibilities first?

Any info/ suggestions are welcome.
