Remember the problems Chip was having with his component that was causing an
error to appear when he started the database? There were probably 50 message
posts from many people on trying to figure out what is going on.
He could put the component in a new, fresh database and it worked without the
error, but in this one particular host database it would alway throw this error
on startup. Before even any code was run in On Startup if I remember correctly.
He finally found the problem and it was related to a “Catch” or a “Break” —
those things you can see in the Runtime Explorer — that was set somewhere that
was making it happen. Those setting are stored inside the .4DB, not externally.
Also, I am assuming the “Expression” area in your debugger is empty and
contains nothing. But what if you had a method in the “Expression” area of the
debugger and it was running commands that were setting the OK variable?
Since a fresh new .4DB file does not exhibit your problem, my guess is some
setting that is in the .4DB that is connected to the debugger that is causing
this.
Maybe you should investigate in these areas.
