I'm at a loss, i have published a program that works fine when run from code,
but produces exceptions when installed and run. I turned on option strict and
option explicit and turned all of the warnings on, then i went through and
handled all conversions etc until no errors or warnings of any kind were
found. When I run my app from the installation i still get a conversion
error. Any thoughts?

System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is
not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct
format.

Value, NumberFormatInfo NumberFormat)

I figured it out, i think i was looking at the data too long. The issue was i
was performing a calculation with a "" and that of course did not work. What
threw me off is that the error was in a function called by the sub not the
sub itself.
Thanks
