I realized that the admin tool was crashing when it was trying to diplay the default view. By modifying just the default view line in the def file to the label of a different view I was able to import it and open an alternate view. When I finally got the offending view open it had a huge table field covering the whole screen which was probably crashing the admin tool. Just removed it from the view and all was good again.
Thanks very much to all who offered great ideas on this one! Chris ************ I had a simular issue a while back. Solution ended up being exporting the form to def file and reseting the form type to display only. It had currupted in the save and was trying to set itself as a regular form. Importing it back in overwriting original fixed it. We tried a lot of things first to correct the issue but even at the db level it would error out. I would suggest exporting this and a working display only for to def file and comparing the settings. hth -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of T.
