    vb6.exe closes randomly on W2000 Pro

    when running an interactive session with the vb6 IDE open,
    I get random closures of vb6.exe with a message pop
    that it is writing an error log and then after about 1 minute
    the vb6 ide closes

    the system is a clean setup (fdisk, format) of windows 2000 pro
    with all service packs (sp4) and all windows updates (critical
    and non-critical applied)

    have replicated problem with vb6 both sp5 and sp6 applied
    and tested separately on three (3) identical new w2k pro systems

    have unistalled vb6 multiple times and reinstalled it multiple times
    have installed and tested problem on both vb6 pro and vb6 enterprise
    with both sp5 and sp6 applied

    if I compile the app to an exe, then the exe runs just fine, the
    only problem is running with the vb6 ide open and stepping through
    the code

    the error occurs when vb6 hits this line
    If FileExists(some path defined here) Then
    ..

    Public Function FileExists(strD est As String) As Boolean
    ..etc..

    I've had similar peculiar things with XP Pro and VB5

    In two cases it turned out to be a slightly dodgy parameter to an API

    The most peculiar case was just Txt1.Text = "xxx" in a multline
    Textbox - just in the IDE, not when compiled
    That problem seems to have disappeared
