Hi
Donavan,
I've
had a similar problem recently. The application ran fine on my development
machine, my laptop, and 4 brand new machines at my client, but not
on the 5th new machine (same client, similar machine, same
processor etc). It came up with an exception violation, obviously not
telling what the problem was. After a some hard debugging (because on my
development machine it ran fine) I found the problem: I free-ed a
form earlier and updated a Tlabel afterwards. Strangely enough all the other
machines didn't pick this up at run-time except for this one machine. I still
wonder why it worked fine on the other machines.
So,
this may give you an idea to look for.
Cheers,
John

Subject: [DUG]: [Q] Windows Update / BDE
This is a very strange one. I have a Paradox / BDE application installed on a client's Win98 machine. Application works 100%. Client then runs Windows Update and things start breaking. The application starts up and manages to open the tables that it does usually. However when applying some filters and doing a query it hangs. I got the client to re-install the BDE but the problem did not go away. Tests on other Win 9x boxes show the application to work without a problem. Can someone give me __any__ suggestions on things I could try?
TIA-- Donovan
