Runtime error 76 - Path not found

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Feb 2002 10:15:46 GMT

Maybe one of you brain-o's can help me, (you've never failed me before) I'm
getting an error that I can't track: Runtime Error 76: Path not found

The error occurs when trying to load a form for the first time:

Function AddRake()
frmAddRake.Show '<-- Error occurs here
End Function

There are a couple of twists in this plot:

1) If I hit F8 or F5 from the debugger my form loads fine and the macro
works from then on.

2) The error (so far) only occurs if there is a blank .DVB project already
loaded.

3) I'm calling (and loading) my macro the first time from a lisp routine:
(defun c:AddRake () (vl-vbarun "ElevTrim.dvb!basMain.AddRake") (princ))

My macro includes the following references:

Trevor,

It looks like the error is occuring in the Load event for the form. I assume
that you've tried putting a break point at the start of the Load event to
step through it. When you use F5 to run it, are you selecting the AddRake
function to run or are you doing it from the form so that it loads directly
without being called from your macro?

That was it. I had turned off error checking and wasn't seeing that a
function was causing an error.

Thanks!

You can be too careful about where you put those "On Error Resume Next"
statements!
