Assertions are for developers only. What good does it do for an end-user to see a dialog that displays as a result of a failed assertion. Craig is 100% correct here in that when distributing your application - Set Assert should be off.

Turning ASSERTs off is like saying your app can't possibly contain the bugs the assertions are supposed to trap. I know I can't say this with absolute certainty about my code.
