I haven't been keeping up with the SBPro4 issues lately, but I have a problem that maybe someone else has already solved. I was running a SBPro3 app for years without incident, switched to SBPro4 and occasionally (it happens erratically), when SB opens a a form for me, the whole system hangs and I have to reboot. When all this happens, it keeps happening and the only way I can get through my app is to run SBPro3 on it and then quit and then run SBPro4 and all goes well. I tried opening a debug window, but a screen gets opened under the form and before I can switch back to view the debug window, the system hangs up. This doesn't happen every day. It happens maybe every 3 or 4 times I run my app. I'm sure I can track this down eventually, but has anyone experienced something like this that might save me some debugging time? -Dave

Yes, has anyone else heard about this happening? Daryn? Regards, Whap!penned… Pat Cummings @Oxxi (310) 427-1227

I currently have SB4 v 1.0 and under AmigaDos 2.04 on my 3000 it is _very_ unstable. The program frequently crashes my system. Michael ….from the north coast

>Michael, you should have received a FREE update to version 1.01 by now. Have >you sent your registration in? Pat, should I deduce from this that as I haven't got an update to v 1.01 I'm not in the database of registered users ? (I did get my v1.0 direct from Precision as an upgrade, & I sent in the registration form, so I ought to be in the database !). Cheers Graham

Actually, Graham, you are not listed in the database as "Graham Walter". Please give us a call at (310) 427-1227 if there is a different name you might be listed under. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227

Pat, Thanks for quick reply. Knowing how my name ends up when it's been copied from a card, anything from Waters to Walker wouldn't surprise me in the least :-). I'll E-Mail you my SuperBase serial no and address – I'd rather not phone, as I'm based in the UK. Cheers Graham

Pat, I am in the same boat. I sent in my registration and still have not received an upgrade. Tim O'Connor

David, Tell me every item, both hardware and software, in your system configuration. I'll see if something looks fishy. Darin, SPC Superbase Technical Support

Yikes, where do I start… When I run SBPro4 on my app, I load all my files into VD0: (ASDG-RAM drive) and then run SBPro4 witha stack of 20000. Nothing else is really running at the time. As I said, everything worked perfect for years with SBPro3. I'll try to narrow it down a little, but it happens so infrequently. Hardware? A2000, A2620, 5 megs ram, Hardframe controller, Quantum drive, A2088 bridgeboard, A2320, etc. Pretty much all OEM stuff. -Dave

Thanks, Darin — BTW, can I blame line noise for mis-spelling your name? Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227

Pat, I am having a small problem with transaction lines on a very simple file I am trying to put togeher for our users group. I am trying to use 2 sets of transaction lines on the same form. I have 3 files: Members, equipment, software. The form uses Members as the base link to equipment and software. The first transaction lines work fine, ie I enter all member info, (page 1) then I go to the 1st set of transactions (page 2) `Software' with 2 fields to enter the members area of software expertise, but if I don't fill all the TAs it tries to save the form from there without going to the next set of TAs (page 3) Equipment. If I try to manually click in the 2nd set of TAs I get a requestor stating ".sbf DOS can't open file". I have tried adding a hidden command button with the command "SELECT FORM NEXT PAGE" also tried "IF title.software = "" then SELECT FORM NEXT PAGE ELSE ENTER peripheral.equipment, after the 1st set of TAs bu all with the same results. I know this is something trivial but I have been working on this for 2 days. Does SBPro 4 support 2 sets of TAs on the same form? I couldn't set these up on the same page so I have it broken into 3 pages. Can you see anything immediately that I am doing wrong? ..Steve Whap!ping from beautiful coastal South Carolina

I'll have to do some research on this and get back to you. Meanwhile, if Darin pops in from SPC, you might get an answer from him if he's encountered this specific problem before.
#36502From: SPC Superbase Tech SuppMar 5, 1992 11:41 AM
Superbase will not support two transaction blocks on one form. You can use multiple forms each with their own transaction block, though, and load and switch between them.
