VB 6.0 Error Message

[Cap Ologist]

I just got an error message that really confuses me.

Run Time Error '28':

Out of stack space

Here's what happened:

I was doing some design testing on a program I'm working on. I have a form that I use as sort of a launch pad, meaning that the user can access different areas of the program from a menu bar on the left hand side. Right now, I have two Sub Procedures that actually do stuff. I only get this error message when I select one option, but not the other one. Also, when I receive the error message, the program is breaking at the first subroutine that the procedure calls.

Here's a rough outline of the program to illustrate.

Private Sub loadOpportunity

lblHeader.Caption = "Opportunity" 'Shows up as a title on a display frame.

'Declare local variables.
Dim nCounter As Integer 'Used for a loop further down in the program.

(This is where the error message appears).
Call handleDisplay(True) 'Sub routine used to set a flex grid to visible.


....More stuff

End Sub

Public sub handleDisplay(blnIndex As Boolean)

frmGameMain.grdDisplay.Visible = blnIndex

End Sub

The explanation I found said something like this was resulting from a lack of memory space.

I'm not sure why this is happening.

Is there a limit to how many procedures/functions you can have on one module? I removed some of the procedures and placed them in another module and made them public so that I could still access them from this one.

Anybody ever seen this before or have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

[Cap Ologist]

Never mind, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Out of stack space usually means that you accidentally kicked off an "infinite" recursion. In your case, I'd presume that it was a tortured chain of event procedures kicking off other events?

[Cap Ologist]

Yeah, I think I was calling the event that I was in. Need to get more sleep before I post questions.
