Thanks Tracy for trying..


Could you check this (VFP 7) if it happens in your machine. Then below is the contents of the memory file,my form is very simple with 2 spinner buttons and 2 command buttons Save and cancel

in the init of the form i have
RESTORE FROM "forms\quarter.mem" ADDITIVE
thisform.spinner1.Value = m.mvcuryrminnhdba
thisform.spinner2.Value = m.mvcuryrminhcdba

in the save button i have
SET ECHO OFF
SET SAFETY OFF
WAIT WINDOW "Please wait saving changes..." TIMEOUT .5
m.mvcuryrminnhdba=thisform.spinner1.Value
m.mvcuryrminhcdba=thisform.spinner2.Value
IF TYPE('mvMasterupd')<>"N"
messagebox('Corrupted')
endif
SAVE TO "forms\quarter.mem"
Thisform.Release

after changing couple of times the value of both the spinner buttons, the mem file gets corrupted.

Can you reproduce this , i would really appreciate this.

>It works both ways for me testing with your variables in fact. I would check that the variable actually exists using IF TYPE('mvMasterupd')<>"N" or something similar and trapping for the variable not existing before saving to memory.mem. It must be released somewhere before under specific conditions somehow...
