Hi

we are running an overnight job on one of our servers. This is a VMWare virtual server with Intel Xeon 2.00GHz CPU and 1GB ram running Windows Server 2003 R2.

This job runs a VB6 program which calls MapPoint 2009 repeatedly. The job ran fine on a PC running Windows XP (the PC had a Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz and 1.24 GB ram).

Since we have moved it onto the server MapPoint seems to crash sporadically.

I note that the server exceeds considerably the minimum requirements for MapPoint 2009. Can you make any suggestions as to why this would be happening and how it could be eliminated. I am thinking "increase the CPU and memory in the virtual server" but in these cash-strapped times I want to try and look for other options

Thanks
Jonathan

1GB does seem small these days - especially for a server or VM type configuration.

What is the crash? Try to catch the exception and see what it says. (do this in VB6 using ON ERROR).
