Hi,
It is a button object. but I have recently commented out the code that gets the
button object and now the program dies in the forms event loop.
case frmOpenEvent:
RecordFormInit();
frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
FrmDrawForm ( frmP); <---------------- Dies right here..
handled = true;
break;
So this little annoying problem has nothing to do with the control I think. This
for just does not react kindly to be pointed at! I can't seem to get a valid
pointer to it... ugh.
day 3 and I still have no clue where to begin. I could completely recreate this
form.. *but* it has a lot of work in it and I'd rather not.
Thanks again,
Philip J.
