Visual Basic 4.0 Debugging. I made this video, to show you how you can use simple code, to change a program crashing, into not crashing. In some instances, you can make it do what you wanted to, using an alternative method that you know CAN'T fail, or you can just do nothing or show the user it messed up. Also, as sort of a joke, I show you how to resize a textbox.

'/--example 1: --/'

On Error GoTo fail123
Text2.Text = Val(0 / 4 * 0 / 0)
fail123:
End Sub

'/--example 2: --/'

On Error GoTo Fail123
Text2.Text = Val(0 / 4 * 0 / 0)
Fail123:
MsgBox "Error number: " & Err & " . Error: " & Error
End Sub

'/--EXAMPLES ENDED BEFORE THIS SENTENCE--/'

(Sorry that this video wasn't as short and "quick" as I intended.)

The purpose of this video, was actually to show someone how easily 2 problems could be fixed, with software I was using, that was annoying the heck out of me and had such easy fixes. At a minimum, the resizing of the text box should have been fixed within a few months, but it still persists, many years after my first use of the software and many updates. I was told that they have bigger issues to work on and can't spend the time (a few seconds), putting in another number for the Width of a textbox.
