Hi Cathy! I have done this many many times. I start with an frx that worked fine - add a field to it and it hangs on the preview. When I delete the field I just added, it continues the behavior. I can delete almost every control on the frx and it still does it. Any frx that I add a control to does this now.
Like I mentioned to Fred, VMP creates a temporary .frx and that is what it previews. When it goes to delete it (normal behavior) it is now asking me to save it (not normal behavior). When I try to save it, it won't save. It just keeps coming up to ask me to save. This in turn doesn't allow the form to destroy and the application hangs. It almost seems like I can't write to the temporary folder.
