FIX: OLAP MDX Application Gives Application Error in Visual Basic IDE

ID: Q219278

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services version 7.0
Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you load the OLAP Visual Basic MDX sample in Visual Basic 6.0 (\Program Files\OLAP Services\Samples\MDXSample) and run from the IDE, the following error occurs:

The instruction at 'hex address' references memory at 'hex address'. The memory could not be written.

RESOLUTION

Here are two ways to work around this behavior:

Make the MDXSampl.exe file from the File menu and then run it.

-or-

Comment out the following lines in the fControlsAvailable() function for SplitRegion User control:


If UserControl.ParentControls.Count < 1 Then
     fControlsAvailable = False
Else
     fControlsAvailable = True
End If

After making this code change you can run the sample from the IDE. However, one of the windows that lists the individual members will not be available and you will not be able to resize the child windows.
