On my non-networked win8 machine here there is some hidden power saving setting that I'm missing. If I"m idle it shuts down RBase (full version). Doesn't shut down anything else. Someone here suggested one setting to change and it made total sense, but alas it didn't help. Very annoying!

Make sure the power saving is turned off on the network cards and the pc is not allowed to go to sleep. That is a good starting point for me. Have you tried running it locally on one of the machines to see if it is a network issue or a local machine issue? Just to let you know I have several machines in a mixed XP/Win 7/Win 8 production environment without issues. When Rbase(or compiled) is connected to a database it is a live connection. If the network connection gets severed it will error out. Hope this helps.

Checking the environment again is the first step this morning. All code changes have been tracked for a long time. My previous problem was using EXITFORM in three EEPs written over 3 years ago (and used every day under XP). Changed to CLOSEWINDOW and the issue went away. My real frustration is I can run the database at home in development or compiled form on a Win 7 Toshiba laptop and it runs all night. Development works correctly on my machine at work. Compile the same database at work on our LAN and within an hour it is crashing on one of the attached computers. None of the other LAN based software does this. Time to Sherlock Holmes the environment.

Fixed that and have had no problems until yesterday. No significant code changes. " Besides the obvious of making sure the environment is correct, I hope you log your changes so you can go back and look them over because that is what your description is pointing to. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A. > Razzak Memon > Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 9:39 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Crashing exits return > > At 09:17 PM 12/12/2013, Tom Frederick wrote: > > >Our complied system has started exiting to closing for no apparent > >reason again. > >Using 9.5 64 on several i5 quad core Dell Optiplexes w/ at least > >8meg memory. > >We jumped from XP to Win7 Pro.
