Help installing VB 6.0 application on different computer


Visual Basic, Software, Development, VB, Visual Basic 6, Screen Scrape

I have a visual basic screen scraping application that scrapes data from a terminal screen and places it in SQL database. I have it installed on one computer right now and works perfectly fine. I am trying to move the application to a second computer and I am having so much difficult. When I launch the application, it works fine for a bit, but then it stops and says "cannot access clipboard" or "runtime error". I have the same computers except for 3 variables (1. The video card on the computers are different, 2. One computer has 1 terabyte of diskspace and the other has 500 gigs, 3. the program runs through dialup modem and the speed on the modems are different). Any help would be appreciated.

i thik u hav to check requierments of ur application.

Do you have source code for the application? The error msg is vague but..
1) Check that the clip board objects are removed from memory after use.
2)Check memory use in task manager.
3)Check use of disk space. Is the application storing files then not purging files from disk after use?

I would be interested in code for this type of application if you can share.
