Two VB Instances, Only One Visible

Why Trust Us

Question:
I am running my VB application on Novel 3.12 file server. When application is running it shows to 2 instances of programon file server console: for example if application nameprog.exe it shows twice.

Answer:
The problem may be that one instance of VB may be running windowless. This is a condition that can happen if you do not have an “End” statement in the Unload event of your main form. The program can keep running, but you will never see anything in it. Sort of a bug, more of a design “feature”.
