Subject Re: Menu problem still plus others From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sat, 8 Aug 2020 04:13:54 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Tony, I was just trying to be helpful, as I'm not as advanced as some of these guys here that can almost know what you were doing...I'm not one of them just yet, but you have so many things calling other things, hard coded paths of files we don't have, that it's really impossible to guess where there could possibly be a code problem. With everything being called, who's to say one of those files we don't have isn't the culprit in say...changing your path? We can't. On the path issue here's another shot in the dark... :) Memory corruption could have theoretically changed your directory path for you by not having an intelligible path. I was also wondering if your program was to do this once a day for a month, because that could explain the 30/31 times it ran flawlessly...almost like a date change occurred to another month, and it didn't handle it well...::shrug:: like I said, just guessing because no one can see what they can't see. :) Hope Akshat can help you.

If that is not some type of "Bug" well then I have no idea at all. I will be happy to share the code with the world if anyone can assist. My apologies Akshat, entirely accidental on my part. Harping on, the same happened with the menu forms. No change by me and then they do not execute any more" Maybe I should download a fresh copy pf dBase - I am using Windows 10 Pro combined with the latest version of dBase 12.1 > > Tony Hughes
