Marc, In v6.5++ I had much the same thing but I don't seem to get the problem in v7.x but I still follow my own advice below.
What made the most difference to me in v6.5++ were these two things: Don't SET SCRATCH - let it default to the Database directory; Don't use ".DAT" as a file extension and probably avoid "DAT" anywhere you can. It is a reserved word so it's not unreasonable even though you would think in text it ought to be alright - for example: set var x = 'datafile.dat' is real no no! Those two things probably killed 80-90% of all my crashes and, like you, I was getting them most days. Good luck, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marc schluter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 1:58 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Crash City > Hi all > > I have been fighting this for over 1 year and have > reached the end of my rope. > > I am using XP pro and 6.5++ the latest build.
