Combile Error (Read 5289 times)

	I'm getting a couple of errors when I open one of my forms. The message says "Some or all of the programming in this form failed to compile. No event programming will run." Usually, when I see this message, I find an error in my programming that I can correct. In this case, when I TEST the program, it comes up clean. Also, if I click on the command buttons, I get another error message: "Error: a runtime SBASIC error has occurred. Please close this form and repair the condition before continuing." I've seen this error before when I try to divide by zero in a calculation. Based on these two errors, I've gone through my programming and 'remarked' everything out using /* and */ for ALL of my programming. So, there should be no programming to compile for this form, but I still get the error! Any ideas on why I am still getting these error messages?

	The runtime error message is probably caused by the failed to compile error message, so lets work on that. You've commented out all the programming on that form, and it's still failing to compile, correct? My guess is you have a subform on that form and it is actually what is failing to compile. -Ray

	No, there is no subform. It is a very simple form of customer names and addresses and the appropriate salesman and account number. A total of 10 elements. I notice that the Account Number element's name was "ACCT #" and is bound to "ACCT #". I changed the element name to ACCOUNT NUMBER as I was afraid that the "#" might be causing a problem, but that did not solve the problem.

	I have had the same problem when I have an element left off the form and is in my designer window to the side or bottom. look for an element that is stray. Right click on the off area and click select all ghosted elements.

	I don't seem to have a stray element.

	You may be correct and it may be something else, however I am still betting it is a stray element. The results are exactly as you say and I have suffered through this lots of times.� It always ends up being a duped or weird element I never noticed till it was a problem. if you open the sample contacts database supplied by sesame and just move the bright yellow element off to the side and then save your changes� �you will see your exact results. Maybe you can make a back-up dsr of your app to play with and start moving or deleting elements and look behind things.� I am betting you have a lost element. once you find it on your back up it will be easy to fix on your real one. The only reason I am being so persistent is because I have told myself� numerous times in the past� I had no stray elements and then later on found it. I just want to try and save you from my same mistakes.

	Hmm If all the programming is commented out, then even ghosted elements shouldn't have any effect as there is no programming to reference them. If you want to Paul, shoot the DSR and DDT files over to support@lantica.com and I'll take a look at them this morning and see what is happening. -Ray

	Hi Paul, If you can place them in a Zip folder and they are smaller than 30 mb you can send them to me by using the Support Request form at http://www.lantica.com/support/contact. If they are larger than that, let me know and I'll email you over some FTP instructions. -Ray

	I fixed the problem! It appears that one of my programming commands, ThrowFocus() was trying to throw the focus to an element that didn't exist. I'm not sure why this didn't show up as an error when I tested it, but I corrected the element name and everything now works!

	Hmmm. I'll ask Support to triage this and see if they can replicate it. Thanks for letting us know!

That will cause this. -Ray

	Yes, it was. The form name is CUSTOMER. Which is probably a bad choice as many of our forms have an element called CUSTOMER. The element I was trying to ThrowFocus to was COMPANY.
