>>>For those of you who are just not quite sure what the definition of "inifite loop" is, try the following "Visual" example:
>>>
>>>Modify any form. Next, modify any code snippet. Hit Ctrl-F to bring up find window. Type in text that you know won't be found. Check "all objects" and hit enter. Make sure you get "not found". If found, search on any other string.
>>>
>>>Close the form. Reopen the form and go to any code snippet. Hit Ctrl-G (NOT Ctrl-F). Hit Escape after you get the general idea of "infinite loop".<g>
>>
>>I don't understand. If I am following your directions correctly, nothing special happens to me. The second search goes through all methods and returns 'Not found'
>
>It behaves that way (returns "Not found: after searching all methods in the form) for me as well under 5.0a build 415. Either it's version specific, or doing the following isn't a valid test:
>
>Open an existing form (PROGRESS.SCX)
>Add a new textbox txtTestBox
>Add a comment to txtTestBox.Click()
>Ctrl-F and look for 'xyzzy' forward in all objects - returns "Not found"
>Close form
>Reopen form
>Open optPointInProcess.Show() method
>Ctrl-G - returns "Not found"

Off topic but it been a long time since I've seen the magic word of Wang/adventure - xyzzy. It's my favorite backdoor password.
