run time error 5

Can anyone tell me why a Visual Basic 6.0 app running on Windows XP embedded
would give a run time error 5 when calling one of the following functions?

Mid
Left
Trim
InStr
Click to expand...

I've been following this thread, and have one more suggestion.

At the top of every Module, Form etc put:

Option Explicit : DefObj A-Z

It is just possible that you have some Deviants (variants) turning up
as a result of (ahem) incomplete declarations, and under certain
circumstances they are confusing things.

Another point, always test with Ctl [F5], in some shops just using
[F5] is a sackable offence.

Also, sometimes VB is not totally honest with its Errors, when it gets
very confused it can also get misleading.
