Hi AKhan,

PMJI.

IF TYPE('mvMasterupd')<>"N"
messagebox('Corrupted')
endif 

If the contents of the .MEM file when restored during the Init() are as you list them (ie the variable is present and PUBLIC) and the above messagebox gets displayed then the variable has somewhere been released (or had it's type changed ). Set a break on the variable in the debugger and see where it goes.

You're not by any chance doing a different RESTORE somewhere without the ADDIT are you ? Or declaring it LOCAL anywhere in which case it might get saved to the MEM, restored in the INIT but then go out of scope when the method ends.

Regards,
Viv
