Thanks, Sami, if I could get consistent crashes - if such a thing were desirable! - then I would most certainly report it officially. I have mentioned the problem here before and, not too surprisingly, got much the same responses. However, as Ben brought the subject up again I thought it worth repeating my experiences.
What worries me, in a way, is how easy it was to spot the cause of the crashes a couple of days ago. All it was was a very simple syntax error. Now I can understand some obscure programming with many variables going wrong but all I had done was get the clauses of "edit mdi...as..." in the wrong order. No matter, for now, I have spent the day checking and logging all my variables from forms, reports and code and I found 3 instances where a variable name was used as both an integer and text. I haven't checked yet to see if I pre-defined them before each use but one of each pair will be re-named tomorrow regardless.
