Javier, Thought I had solved our Win7 problem by updating drivers. I was wrong. It came back when I ran reports. All our reports get saved as PDFs. Never had a problem on an XP machine. On Win7, it always failed at about the same place in the process. I printed out the EEPs to follow the process. This PDF section has worked every day for years under XP, making hundreds of PDFs. The exit portions used 'ExitForm' to clear the form. I changed 'ExitForm' to 'CloseWindow' because ExitForm was a DOS legacy and seemed the easiest change. Bang! Worked perfect in XP and Win7. Edited 23 other 'ExitForms' to 'CloseWindow' and recompiled. Ran through all the PDF processes without a hint of a problem. They all worked. All I can think of is Win7 simply does not tolerate DOS commands while XP does. I put 'ExitForm' back into the EEP, recompiled, and the errors immediately returned in the Win7 machine while the XP machine next to it just made a PDF like it always does. Maybe you have the same issue with your 3 workstations.

I have been trying to figure out this issue with no luck for long time; I get this issue with 3 workstations running Win 7. A couple of week ago I did a complete upgrade of Windows and drivers on one of the computers where auto-upgrades had been turned off and it seems to have helped but not completely eliminated the problem. I keep thinking it is a video driver or a network issue but they do not have this problem with any other software, only the compiled version of R:base. When the application was flashing, I went to the Windows Task Manger and was able to get a "dump" for the dead application but I have not been able to find a software that allows me to look at the "dump" file and analyze the contents. BTW, the 3 workstation are Dell.

Moving from XP Pro to Win7 Pro with new desktops (i5- 3470 Quad core, 8 GB memory), and fast managed switches. The compiled database (64 9.5, latest updates) is on the server. XP machines run the database just fine. On the new Win 7 machines the same database lasts about about 5-8 screens in. Then it seems to flash 4-5 screens and exits all the way out. This never happens on our XP machines. It does not seem to matter which menu item is selected. I am running XP and Win7 machines side by side through the same switch trying to figure this out. Where do I look to resolve this? Tom Frederick President/CEO Elm City Center 1314 W Walnut Jacksonville, IL 62650 W- 217-245-9504 F - 217-245-2350 E - [email protected]
