Knowledge Base Item #1

Date: April 1, 1997

Problem:

After a successful conversion and compilation, there is a link error.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

Microsoft's compiler releases 4.0 and 4.2 and 5.0 have incompatible libraries. The version of the library that ships with the converter is linked with MFC 4.2.

Quick Fix:

  1. Open the VBBELIB.mdp file in the skeldir directory.
  2. Select Rebuild All.

    This will create a library for you which is compatible with your release of the compiler and the libraries you are using.

Knowledge Base Item #2

Date: April 1, 1997

Problem:

At the time a form is loaded, there is a debug message that there is no shared resource for template number ###.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

The VB model for MDI child windows is different than that of MFC.

Quick Fix:

None. This is not an error. It is a warning that there is no shared menu and as such is true. It does not cause the application to fail.

Knowledge Base Item #3


Date: May 22, 1997

Problem:

Windows 95 Users get CreateProcess Failed due to 0 during conversion.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

CreateProcess on Windows 95 for some users is not ignoring the Security Attributes. This is fixed for all users.

Quick Fix:

None. Contact us for a release update.

Knowledge Base Item #4

Date: September 23, 1997

Problem:

Unable to compile VBBElib under Visual Studio 5.0 compiler due to error in DirListBox.cpp.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

Microsoft C compilers 4.2 and 5.0 compile the same line differently.

Quick Fix:

Change the line below to add a cast to (int &). Hence, change:

DirListBox_AddSubtree(sPath, TempLocn(iElements + 1) );

to:

DirListBox_AddSubtree(sPath, (int &)TempLocn(iElements + 1) );

Knowledge Base Item #5

Date: September 23, 1997

Problem:

Unable to compile VBBElib under Developer Studio 4.0 compiler due to errors in vbvar.cpp.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

Microsoft C compilers 1.xx, 2.xx, 4.0, 4.2 and 5.0 have different COleVariant classes and definitions for boolean and restricted symbol definitions.

Quick Fix:

Upgrade to Version 4.2 or higher of the C compiler.

Knowledge Base Item #6

Date: September 23, 1997

Problem:

At startup of conversion the message: Wrong Version Of Run-time DLL appears.

Status:

Resolved

Cause:

The converter was built with Microsoft Visual Basic and service pack 2 installed. The installer took the most cautious approach during installation and did not overwrite anything. It now does a version check during the installation.

Quick Fix:

Reinstall with the latest version or apply the service pack.

Status:

No Resolution

Cause:

Quick Fix:

None
