Brad,

My questions are:

1) Does somebody use BUILDER.APP and have Builder and BuilderX properties filled with information (That's MereMortals situation).

2) If you do, do you have the same bug, as I encountered?

3) If yes, do you think it's a Builder.app problem?

4) If yes, is it a bug and should I go ahead and report it?

In your case you're not running _builder.app, but something else. So, I guess, MEMBERDATA case is handled somehow in that application main program.

I looked at it a little and I think I see where you made your change, but in a block of code somewhere before that, they already handle the possibility of a BuilderX property. But I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on in that code.

>I know it's not a bug that _BUILDER is called from "Add To Favorites" or from the "Member Data Editor" menu selection... that's just the way VFP9 works... after all, anything that has to do with _MemberData is PEM-related, so it makes sense to have _BUILDER handle that.

>I dont want to address the issue of a bug in BUILDER.PRG. There may be something else going on... again I point to my experience with the FOXUSER file and the invalid pointer for the BUILDERS entry (and also, I found, for the WIZARDS entry). Maybe you happen to be correctly pointing to the correct BUILDER.DBF this time because of some environment change or... who knows?
