FWIW -
I too have experienced the form crash problem and have been unable to find a
cause. I have noted/tried the following:
FILES set at 50.
Seems to happen more with multiple forms open.
In some cases, even after a complete restart of RBase, ANY button the user
clicks causes a crash.
It happens inconsistently - the same form may run without problem for 100
passes then fail after every 2.
The forms seem to crash as soon as the user attempts to close the window.
They crash much much more after using the LAUNCH command.
The code behind them is solid.
Sometimes, if a user double-clicks on a pusbutton it will crash the form.
It happens on all platforms (98/NT/2000)
Happens with less than 3 forms open.
In one instance, the problem was cause by an INSERT/SELECT, which according
to documentation, places a TABLE lock on the table, but the table had a
corrupted autonumber column.
I have NOT tried this with only one user connected. Since I have noticed a
great increase in "waiting for access" messages, perhaps the trouble is
linked to concurrency.
It occurs with forms based on both permanent and temporary tables.
These are just my notes. I created a simple form and ran it inside a WHILE
loop to see how many open/close cycles I could get. That number ran
anywhere from 10 to 300. Again, it did seem that if the user clicks too
many times too quickly, it could cause trouble. If anyone would like to try
and reproduce the above, I would like to hear your feedback, as this issue
can be frustrating to end users.
There are plenty of variables that could be considered (are there images on
the forms? how many forms are open?). And due to the third item noted
above, perhaps the problems are OS related. I am not considering memory to
be an issue since the problem can occur soon into a user's session without
doing very much processing.
In the meantime, I am going to try different OS configurations and different
multi-user scenarios, but any shared knowledge would be welcome.
