What's the error it's spitting out at you?

And is it at compile time or run time?

Run time. But it was the Express version doing it. Its more complicated then VB6 Pro, strangely. I've managed to get myself a copy of VB6 Pro because of the problems express was giving me, and everything is smooth.

Can you even create *.exe's with the express ver?

Express is fucked. It doesnt show you things it doesnt think you can handle. Apparently the choice between .exe and anything else isnt one of the choices. Fired it up and it gave me the choice of "standard windows file" and other things. I'm thinking that was .exe.
