Error 32765COMDLG32.OCX and they all work fine. Suddenly this week on my own PC (Windows 7 - 64 bit - Home Premium) all these programs throw up the error quote Run-time error '32765' The common dialog function failed during initialization. this error often occurs when insufficient memory is available. unquote This error appears in both compiled versions of the programs and when using the VB6 editor. Placing an earlier copy of comdlg32.ocx in the same folder as the VB .exe file and registering it worked for a while, but today it has reverted back to the error messages. Has anyone any idea why this is happening? I have 6 gigs of RAM installed so memory is not the problem. All my programs work fine on my XP SP3 machine and on many other users world-wide under Windows 7. I am stumped as to why this is happening here.

Although most of the dialog boxes appeared, the Open and Save ones still did not open. I have now reverted my system to 1st August and all is working correctly once more. Either a Microsoft Fix or something else I had installed this month must have broken the cmdlg box.

You are aware that Win7 does not ship with comdlg32.ocx, aren't you? This control must be distributed with you app and properly registered on the target machine in order to use it with Win7. for a list of other runtimes not shipped with Win7, see this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms788708.aspx -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc On Aug 8, 7:22 pm, "Mike Simpson" <ag***@optusnet.com.au> wrote: I had this problem years ago, where this would crop up on some> I have several VB6 programs which I have written using the Common Dialog box > COMDLG32.OCX and they all work fine. > > Suddenly this week on my own PC (Windows 7 - 64 bit - Home Premium) all > these programs throw up the error > quote > Run-time error '32765' > > The common dialog function failed during initialization. this error > often occurs when insufficient memory is available. > unquote > This error appears in both compiled versions of the programs and when using > the VB6 editor. machines but not on others. In my case, the culprit turned out to be in the flags. I had set a flag that, if I remember correctly, had something to do with "read only" directories. Changing my code so that this flag didn't get set cleared up the problem.

Windows' own DLL's and not an OCX.

have you found a solution yet? I have encountered the same issue with a Vb6 app that installed fine on several Win7 machines a month ago. Additionally I am running into all sorts of issues with the installed about requiring admin permission to run even when logged in as admin (telling me my application wants to change the computer system ???) I am guessing that I am running into multiple issues but the unravelling with my limited understanding of Win7 is proving difficult ( plus a slow connection for GoToMeeting) Any papers that could help me out?
