MSGBOX not legal in debugger?

[Mark Newman]

I'm getting a GPF when my app uses the PB MSGBOX function when running in the debugger, yet it's fine in the EXE. For example, if I single-step this code I get a GPF message when the MSGBOX statement executes (or tries to anyway):

#COMPILE EXE
#REGISTER ALL
#DIM ALL

FUNCTION PBMAIN

MSGBOX "Test"

END FUNCTION

Is this a known condition? I searched here but didn't find anything related.

(NT4/SP4, Pent3/400, PB6, VB6/SP3)

Thanks,

NT5 - no problems (Pentium 3 - 550)

Mark,

Just tried your quickie program in NT4.0 sp6, ran just fine. We
never went to sp4 because of the problems M$ had with this service pack.

Suggest you go to sp6, this should cure a lot of ills, KNOWN and UNKNOWN.

Cheers,
Cecil

Thanks for the help, there does seem to be something strange going on with PB6 on my system (more than just the MSGBOX problem). I'll update to SP6 and see if that helps.
