>Dear GOD (or UT users), please help me figure out why I lose report changes 10 times a week due to this report designer bug that nobody else can reproduce. Amen.

>I make a bunch of changes to a report. Open another report to copy some code and then try to save the report and BAM "file not open" error pops up and the only way to get out is to End Task... Lose All Your Work... Goodbye... Have a Nice Day.... #($*#$#$%# YOU VFP9SP2. I swear this bug makes me lose work at least a few times a week. This was never a problem in previous versions of VFP.

>The worst part is that I can systematically reproduce this bug on both my desktop and my laptop, yet nobody else seems to be able to reproduce it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>I'd like to pin it down to something different with my desktop and laptop and only 3 things stand out that are the same with my laptop and desktop that may be different than other people's setup:
>1. Vista Ultimate (anybody else running Ultimate?)

>3. AVG Antivirus Network Edition (anybody running this AV?)

>Thanks so much, this bug is causing me to lose work many times a week. It's gotten so bad that I keep notepad open, and before I try to save a report, I copy my code and paste it into notepad.

It's very possible the bug is in the xbase code of the Report Designer and not the core reporting engine. The good news about that is that the xbase code is on CodePlex so *WE* the community can make bug fixes and enhancements as we see fit. If you have a reliable reproducable scenario that you can describe, and others can repeat the steps and get the same behavior, someone may be able to track down the bug and suggest a fix for CodePlex.
