Hi John.

In addition to the other suggestions, one way I eliminated C5 errors in my apps is to make sure that I don't do a RETURN inside a WITH statement. For example, I used to have code like this:

with This
  ... some code
  if SomeCondition
    return
  endif
  ... some code
endwith

Changing this to:

with This
  ... some code
  if not SomeCondition
    ... some code
  endif
endwith

or some other structure that prevents a RETURN while inside WITH has completely eliminated C5 errors from my apps (and of course it's better coding too).
