Checked the INI. Results in image attached. No entry under [Custom] Followed Andy's line "the error is somewhere in your form" Sure enough, way down in a function block that I had commented out, there was an extra 'return' that I failed to notice or comment out. Gave it the old '//' preface and the problem went away. Form runs and can be designed as expected. A good nights sleep does wonders for detecting errors in your code. Thanks much for your responses. I will try to do better next time. Regards, Tom
