(Word 2003 and VB 6.5)
I'm creating a rather lengthy form with about 100 text fields. Development
has gone smoothly until now, when Word has begun to close unexpectedly and
recover the document whenever I use Debug > Compile Project.

Because I get no information about the reason for the crash, I can't
investigate or correct it. Any ideas on what might cause this problem, or how
to find the offending code/item? Is there a maximum number of objects on a
user form, perhaps?

Have you tried the form on a different computer? If it has no problem there,
then it's probably a corrupt normal template. You can try blowing that out.
Otherwise, if the problem occurs on the other computer, your form might be
corrupt.

Replacing normal.dot didn't do it, but removing the Word form from the
document seemed to stop the issue from occurring. I'm using a VB form, but
the document had an older design's Word form in it, and that seems to have
been causing the problem.

Thanks again.

I hadn't thought of that, and I'll try it in the morning when I get back to
the office. That's for your reply.
