Strange Errors & Behavior in VB6
From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
Automation error, The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

When ran in the Visual Basic IDE, the error is NOT generated. The error is only generated in the compiled exe version of the project. Debugging within the IDE alone is not helpful. The error was tracked down using a series of MsgBox messages.
Setting the default value to the cboBox like this is probably not "by the book".
Key terms:
- circular references
