Watson has info that is collected in log files.  These files I see in differnet installation files and what not. 

Question  is ;  Is there a place where one can look at all of Watson's records

    Even straining I can't see the VB Express connection here.

    Your right-  Thanks for your answer.  It is related to VS - however on the windows side of things.

    It would help to know the OS you run.  I am going to assume windows XP.  I don't know if this is helpful or not.  But these are the paths to where Dr. Watson stores all the log files.

    Log File: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson

    Crash Dump File: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\user.dmp

    You can also go to Start - Run and type drwtsn32.exe to customize how logs are dumped/created.  I think you can change how many logs to save also.  I hope this is helpful.  I never really get those errors much anymore.  It's been a while.
