VB Errors

[PsBurton]

When ever I make an executable and run it on other computers the background
for example is always white when it should be black or other mishaps.
I honestly dont know what to do. Ive tried writing code to reassign
background colors, but it is really annoying.

What are you including in your setup packages?

There's really no way anyone here can help unless you provide more
details... especially which version of VB you're running (this group
supports only pre-dotNet versions) and what you're including in those
packages.

I am a really basic programmer and all I know is I made a very simple program
in VB6 and compiled it to an .exe. Then when I took it to another computer
(an XP to be exact) the forms were white when they should be black, and
various other small areas.
Sorry if the answer to this may be obvious, but I havent found a place that
answers this.

If the program runs AT ALL on the other computer, but colors
are different, then you have some at least slightly unusual
issues.


Please check into *exactly* what values you used for colors,
as one reasonably theory is you used system colors instead of
absolute colors, in which case the disconnection would have been
in your expectations, not the results - if that were the case,
you'd be actually getting exactly what you asked for, just not
what you'd have thought you were.
