VB6 complied Webbrowser html probem

I have a problem with my application when I compile my code.

I have a stand alone form that has the webbrowser control.

I generate an html page that I store as a file on a hard drive.

After I've generated the html file, I direct the webbrowser to open it:


When I run in design mode, everything works; when I compile and run the webbrowser form completely hangs or displays a memory conflict error.

Why would compiled code function differently from design for such a simple operation?
