1) Really bad advice!
A clean Gremlin's run is essential to having quality
software, and customers do pay for quality software!
If Gremlins hiccups, you HAVE BUGS !
2) If you'd have checked the archives you'd have seen the
"invalid insertion point" discussed.
The most likely cause is a field that doesn't have enough
height for the font used. The message is very misleading!
I was caught by it for some fields where I changed the font
from largeFont to largeBoldFont. The problem is that
largeBoldFont needs an extra pixel in height.
