Charlie, I happened to notice you mention a Lenovo laptop and some problems with it. I have a Lenovo X1C6 and a X1C9 notebook and although they are really great performance and ergonomic notebooks they are a complete bust with their battery management firmware, in fact firmware in general. I won't go into the gory details but will mention I will never buy another Lenovo Thinkpad notebook again. I would be surprised if the notebook hardware was the cause of your problem although it is a remote possibility. Thinkpads are renowned for their battery problems and can be incredibly frustrating to manage. Lenovo do not really help either. Make sure you have an onsite maintenance agreement with Lenovo on them. regards, AndrewS On 1/4/25 05:50, Charlie wrote: > Hi Mervyn...

In addition I notice when I inno, some of the new features I have added don't work correctly. The innos from my old computer do work correctly.

After talking to the guy from Lenovo I got it working again by turning it off then holding the power button down for 20 seconds, then turning it on. The same thing happened around 4 days ago. He made a comment caused by too much electricity. > > On that note it might be a hardware problem. I hope not. > > Mervyn Bick Wrote: > >> On 2025/03/30 21:55, Charlie wrote: >>> Hi Mervyn... I seem to be seeing them now on this computer only but normally I don't. I don't see them on other computers now. My problem with dbase freezing and closing on a particular form is only on this computer. it works fine on other computers. I even did an inno from this computer, ran the setup on a different computer and it worked fine. I did a repair for windows and reinstalled dbase2019. Problem still exists for this computer only. Something is wrong. Oh error message boxes sometimes are blank. Hoping someone else has run into this. Could be this computer problem or dbase software problem.
