user control containedcontrols automation error

[Richard]

Hi, I am using the containedcontrols collection within a user control that
has been setup as a container.

Quite frequently, when referencing the containedcontrols collection at the
start of a for each loop, I get this message:

---
Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':

Automation error

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
---

Has anybody else come across this problem and, is there a fix for it?

Regards and thanks,

Richard

Automation Error is not the actual error message. The error is probably coming
from the contained control and isn't raised to the container control. You
probably have to write an error trapping routine to raise the error, then
you will get the true picture.


the error trapping routine in the contained controls would look something
like this:

Sub_functionName()
on error goto procErr:



procExit:
exit sub

procErr:
err.raise("fill in the required arguments here")
goto procExit

end sub

Thanks for the reply. I don't believe it is coming from the contained control,
however, as if I do

MsgBox UserControl.ContainedControls.Count

VB shuts down with an application error.

If I compile the program into an executable it works beautifully, it just
doesn't appear to work properly in the development environment.

I THINK I am using VB6 without any service packs, is there any way I can
download a service pack for VB6 without having to download a Visual Studio
6 service pack, which is enormous?
