Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Repeated Unhandled Exception

    Suddenly I've got a form in my database that is Crashing to the Desktop due to a unhandled Exception when I do a very simple thing.

    I have attached the Database, and things will make more sense when it's been looked at.

    I have a Database which keeps Tract of the timber that a company uses. Each Tract of Land gets a load of Timber cut and then delivered to one of their Mills. Each delivery is done through a Bill of Lading. And Each bill of lading has multiple logs of different species.

    The problem that I have is when I select my Speices from the Add Cuttings button from the Enter BoL Form. Every single time I get a crash to the Desktop. This happens with the code commented out, and with it uncommented.

    This only happens in the Developer Version. When I open the database in the Runtime version it works and does not crash. The code that I typed in works as well.

    From the attached Database that I have included there are two ways to access the place where I have the problem.

    When the database opens a form asks you to select a company. Double click on one of the options in the List. The Main Menu will then Open. You can either Click the "Enter Load Ticket" from the New Item Tab. Or Access the control Panel, and Double click the "Enter_BoL" Form

    If you select the Enter a Load Ticket, then Fill in the following fields
    Load Ticket No: With Any String
    Tract, Vendor, Destination Select from the List.
    Total Logs, and Total BF enter a Number
    Cutting Date enter a Date, and click int he Delivery Date field.

    If you access the Form through the control Panel, then this will open a valid Load Ticket already.

    Next, Click the "Add Cutting to BoL" button in the bottom Left. This will bring up the Form that is causing a problem.

    The "SpeciesID" field will be active. In the Developers Version, selecting anything from this field will crash Alpha 5, version 6. In the runtime version it works fine.

    The SpeciesID is a Simple Table Lookup from the Species Table.

    This worked fine for the last 2 months, and Is now crashing Alpha 5.

    My question is why is it crashing Alpha5, and what can I do to stop it.

    Jon

    It doesn't crash for me in full version, build 1542_2024, although the syntax

    frm :=Form.load("Enter_Cuttings","dialog")

    should be

    frm = Form.load("Enter_Cuttings","dialog")

    Other than that, all of the code looks fine. Did you try compacting the database? A couple things to try. Start by rebooting the computer. Then restore your backup you attached here to another folder and try that.

      Jerry,

      I did restart, and I used Previous versions. They all crashed in the Developers version.

      I will make that change that you pointed out.
