Re: OPO dead cat bounce

Yes - just general form development when it all came tumbling down. I think my problems are close to your old one - in the area of a corrupt .poa The associated .pos seemed ok. It was kinda wild - I couldn't open the file or even delete it. I was convinced that the entire folder was trashed so I wrote some wild code to work around it, delete some stuff - esp. the file that was crazy glued, and it all ran today without problems. Before I distribute it to a customer I think I'll rewrite and relocate everything just to be sure. Perhaps v3 will have a source code editor like FoxPro. I left all of this e-mail I place in case someone was trying to follow it.
