Hello Bob,

My, you seem desperate.

I didn't follow the whole thread - a couple of
quick questions (We had a problem like this ):
(assuming there are no viruses, SP2 is installed etc)


1. Does this behaviour occur in other VFP apps?
2. Does this crash occur always at the same place?
3. Are you releasing objects that are still active in a roundabout
way like having an active object on a page in a pageframe and then
changing the pagecount to 0 (pulling the rug beneath the table...
practically guaranteed to crash a complex system)
4. Are you using active X controls? If yes are they updated versions?
5. What Video Driver are you using?


Good Luck,



Eylon
