I do know of several things that cause QB to crash.  I remember them vaguely
from a QB-BUGS list I used to get from local BBS's.  Certain variable names
could cause it to crash, if you tries to watch certain undefined variables
in the debug window, it would die.

One time I ran inot something similar to what you mention, and after a
call to Microsoft, found out that you should never save your modules as
the Quick/Binary format, always use ASCII.  I loaded each of them in and
saved them as ASCII.  When I exited and re-loaded them all, it worked fine.
This was due to some bug in the binary save/load routine.  I cannot swear that
this was 4.5...  It could have been 4.0 or even BC7.0, but give it a try.
