I have a graphics field. The graphics are in an external iomega file. When I try to update a form I now get either a c++ runtime error or a frozen database. I have always gotten an error with a graphics file over 325 pixels. However, since updating to 1.0.2 I can't update any graphic file. Sesame sees the file, asks if I want to accept the file and when I accept, I get the freeze or the c++ runtime library message. When I click on fix it, I get the "microsoft has encounted an error" message and shuts me down after asking if I want to send a report. Anyone else have a problem like this? Thanks for your help.

I don't have a problem accessing the graphics file either on the zip or my hard drive. I have Sesame set up to go to the "G:" drive or the Iomega zip. Sesame pulls us the particular graphic in every instance. It's only when I "accept" the graphic to the form that we get the freezes and error messages. Previously, I found a bug when trying to accept a graphics file into a form which Lantica fixed. If I wanted to test this process from my hard drive, what would be the simpliest way in your opinion. I have several hundred graphics on the zip drive. I suppose I could create a folder on the harddrive, transfer the files from the zip to the folder and change the location for these to the "C:" drive. But, what caused the malfunction is the question. Thanks for your response.

Thank you for your response. I have moved a few graphics to c:\acatchall, changed to that drive in Sesame with the same results as before. The Microsoft message reads in part "Sesame.exe has encountered a problem," etc. Again, Sesame finds the graphic, pulls it into the form and when I click on "accept," we get the above microsoft message. Each time I have to "unlock" the database. Yesterday, the first sign of trouble began with a "c++ runtime error," which offered the opportunity to "fix" the problem. After accepting the offer, I then received the message from Microsoft "Sesame.exe" has encountered a problem."
I hope this is enough info to look into the problem.

I have emailed you a few of my graphics files. I think the files are fine. When I shell out to a graphics program in Q&A they work fine. I explained in the email that I am always in Sesame (data entry) never in design when accessing the graphic files. I have tried several different graphics, all with the same result. Prior to updating 1.0.2 I have about 300 graphics already in my form. Thanks for looking into this.

I've been getting the same problem. Sesame crashes when we hit the Accept button on a .jpg image being loaded from a  mapped drive. (we havent tried loading from a local drive, dont think it will make a difference)

We gave up on Sesame after a couple of crashes (for the day).

Thanks for looking into this.

Thank you!

Can you please send two of the .bmp files to support@lantica.com marked to my attention. Please send one .bmp that has the wrong colors and one that does not show up at all.

I had no problem using the f6 workaround; no distortions of graphics using .Jpg index.
