Re: OPO dead cat bounce

Rick,

[Quoted] You didn't say what the circumstances were - just working away in the designer?
I haven't seen errors like that since V1 (which *did* do that sort of thing to regularly).   

[Quoted] FWIW, though, during the v1 "era", I had something like that happen, and ended up with a corrupt application file. OPO problem begat win95 crash and crash begat corrupt files.
I sent the file in to Oracle with a stiff note, and asked that it be fixed. [Quoted]  They looked the file over, said that there was nothing they could do, and [Quoted] asked me if I had Win95's write-behind cacheing on. Their point being that [Quoted] the problem was larger than a broken pointer (or whatever), and that likely [Quoted] I had significant blocks not yet written to disk at the time of the crash.

[Quoted] Not the answer I wanted, but it made sense to me. I turned cacheing off and haven't had *any* trouble with file corruption since.

-hope this helps,
