GPIB not responding after running fine in vb6 app.

[Ibmer]

Hello, I am writing a program using vb6 and gpib interfacing an hp4142 voltage source/monitor and a keithly 707 matrix. The Program runs fine for a while and then ibspy shows EDVR(0) on all the commands. It is almost like the board is timing out. I access the instruments using ibdev.
