>I was looking through an error log of one of the customers and I see, at least, a few times a year the error "Record is out of range.". The error log writes that the the last level that the function ASTACKINFO(aStackArray) got is the Start() method of the application object. I have seen this error before and always the ASTACKINFO() points to the Start() method (which is the very first method fired by the application - after user logs in). And I always thought that this error actually happens in the Start() method. And I could not see how.

Without diving into your details, that error is almost always caused by a corrupt index. You could approach this by looking for places where you use an indexed table, cursor etc.

There was "one weird error" documented some time ago which could come up when:

- a form is instantiated
- the form contains a combobox
- the combobox's data source is a table or cursor
- the data source either is not present or not populated (?) at the time the combobox is instantiated

I can't remember if the error raised was "Record out of range" or if it was something like "File does not exist" or "Alias is not found" - maybe someone else recalls the details (?) The takeaway is you need to ensure data sources for controls are present before trying to instantiate them.

UPDATE: is this customer the one where you're having the other problems?
