i know I don't have to crash to launch the error routine, but what I am ultimately trying to do is debug the REAL code, and make sure that I am trapping the errors there, so I set up a typical crash ( data overrun or whatever ) and then ask the error routine to step through, so I can see the variables. So I see for example, a divide by 0, add a line of code in the error trap to "Wait window 'divide by 0 in pricing'", hit compile , and am told I have an error accessing error.fox! So I save, quit , modi comm, compile, launch my real code, test again, at about 20% efficiency!

This recompile bug has been around forever, but today I decided to try again!
