Visual Basic 4 Out of Memory Issues
I am running two seperate executable files generated from VB4 code. The applications work on machines running win 2000 and xp. I have not tested on NT or server 2000. The applications will not run on Server 2003 or XP for Tablet PC 2005- the only other two OS's that I have access to.

The errors I get are common to both applications on both OS's on which the applications will not run.
The error messages:
1) "Out of Memory" followed by "Run time error 91: Object Variable or With Block not set.' On debug the line 'Data1.Recordset.Index = SORT$' is indicated as the problem.
2) "Out of Memory" followed by "Run time error 2004: Out of Memory.' On debug the line 'Data1.Refresh' is indicated as the problem.
I get the out of memory error once for each time a connection to a databse is made. E.g. at one point a connection is made to 6 seperate databases. I get 6 memory errors followed by the run time error.
I am uncertain as to whether this is an OS issue, a data control issue, a case of horrible programming by the original programmer issue or something else.
I also get an out of memory error when trying to add a data control to a form. Properties for 'Connect' and 'Database Name' are 'Access' and ' settings.mdb' (shouldn't be an issue). 'Recordset Type = Dynaset'. When I try to set the recordsource property I get the 'Out of Memory' Error.
(I have had issues with this code and incorrect use of the 'option explicit' selection- I have no idea if this might also be causing some problems.)
Any light that you can shed is greatly appreciated- even if it's just to point me in the right direction to research my own answers!

I agree I think VB6 is probably the way to go. You shouldn't have to change your code much. It may still be a programming issue, but VB6 might be more explanatory as to what you did wrong whilst coding. I have to assume you're using the Win32 version of your program? You didn't specify and VB4 is 16 or 32 bit. If you aren't already running a 32 bit version I'd make that the first change.
I have to assume VB4 is service packed and has all available updates? Also the runtimes on the system are the most recent available for vb4?
