Compile Error

I am trying to compile an old program. I have successfuly compiled same
programe many times in the past. But I have tried several times today to
compile the same progame and I keep getting this error ....

VB6 program error

The Instruction at 0x056b78259 referenced memory at 0x05b7829. The memory
could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program, Click Cancel to debug.

This happens when the compiler finishes "compile" amd is "creating exe"

The only thing I did to the app was edit one or two lines in a sub. And the
other thing I did today was "Windows update"

By the way, my other vb App compiles Ok on the same machine.

Anyone have idea what is causing this problem? I googled but nothing came up
on this error.

Check the project, vb exe and temp folders to ensure no intermediary compile
files remain (I believe they have a .obj extension).

Thanks Randy. I deleted all .obj files and other temp files... I tried to
compile and got the same error ... and the compiler recreated the .obj files
all over.

Still stuck.

Do you compile from within the IDE or from the command line?
Try the other method. Sometime I get such effects in one compile mode, but
not in the other.
Maybe fiddling around with the compile flags may also help (turn off
optimization for example)
