Wait... Bullwinkle? Boris? Hmmm....

Boris, I owe you. I never in a million years would have guessed it was the
icon, but that's exactly what it was. I just got an e-mail from the client.
The system now works 100%.

If by chance you are on facebook, please add me as a friend, or just send me
an e-mail sometime - discgolfdad(a)cox.net

And say "Hi!" to Natasha for me!

I don't know Bullwinkle, and Boris is not my real name, but I'm glad it
works now!
Cheers!!

Exactly what we would expect Boris to say.

Hmmmmm

Is there any context to this?
You seem to have created a new thread with no relation to the original
so the majority of people will have no idea what it relates to..

Sorry, Dee, yes I most certainly did.

I'm not certain of the original thread subject or I would have searched for
it (I hide read messages in my newsreader).

In a nutshell, I had one client who had one machine fail after an update.
Where it was failing made no sense, since I'd not made any changes to the
main form (or logon form) in a very long time. Would get an "unexpected
error" when running on Terminal Services, but only running that way, plus
nobody else had that problem. Had put debugging code and determined that it
was going completely through the form_initialize event but never reaching
the form_load event.

Turns out, as per Boris' suggestion, it was an icon I had replaced
system-wide, since I took over the company I worked for for the last 25
years as they closed their doors and gave me ownership of my own code - had
to form my own company, create my own logo (and thereby icon) and made that
change to the system. What's strange is that it apparently ONLY affected
Terminal Services - I don't know that any of my other clients are running
under TS. I also suspect the the file was corrupt (created from a jpg or
png file on a web site that creates favicons) but also that I noticed a 146k
icon file (as opposed to the 4-5k one it should have been. Unfortunately,
when you check the form icon property, VB does NOT show you the source
path/filename so I can't confirm that I was using the 146k version, but I
suspect I was.

Regardless, creating a new one (from the same site) and making SURE that was
the one every form used seems to have solved the problem.
