Re: VB6 - Won't End

Do the rewrite!

There is no IF, just a WHEN. It is 100% certain that the app will fail at
some time. The app is (to use your words) "mission critical". It seems
prudent to mitigate that risk on your own terms and at a manageable cost
rather waiting for the mission critical app to fail and have to cobble
something together with no margin for error or time to do it properly and
significant potential losses.

Do you really want that headache when you can do something about it now?

Well, that's true too Tom! I have one mission critical system that's in
VB6. I'd rewrite it in DotNet, but that seems like so much effort for
little gain. As long as VB6 will run, I'll keep hacking at it.

Found the problem. Different objects were being used (hence the

rewrite),

and one wasn't being closed. Sure would be nice to have a way of seeing
that, but it came down to a programming issue. Thanks for looking at

this

Evan!

Evan-I think that's the case. Is there a way I can identify those
programmatically? Like maybe iterating through a list and printing

them?
