John, everyone, In my case, the “problem” is definitely not a database one.
I always close the database before exiting; from my app I use an External form; from the R:> prompt if I type “Exit”; if I click on the drop-down main menu and choose Exit; if I click on the Windows X to exit – all with or without any (other) screens displayed: In all these cases I get the “R:Base eXteme 9.0 (32) has stopped working” error message about 95% of the time. If that gives me the chance to send a report to Microsoft I do. The other occurrence of the same “problem” is when the system’s power screen saver kicks in when R:Base is open. In this case the Windows error message appears wherever I am in R:Base. So I have the choice of closing R:Base or seeing if I need it again before the power saver gets it. This one seems to be 100% of the times it happens. Believe me, if I could have sent RDCC anything useful I would have done so long ago. Thanks for taking this on board. Regards, Alastair.

I have one form that drops the user out of the database and I cannot figure out why. The form collects information about CONTACTS (name, address, phone, and 18 additional fields). 1. When I call CONTACTS straight from a menu list it works correctly every time. 2. Another form tracks prescribed MEDICATIONS and uses a drop down to select the prescribing physician. If the name is new, the user hits a green '+' which fires an EEP to load the CONTACTS form to collect the new physician's info. I use this basic system successfully in many locations. However in Example #2 I can go to any field within the called CONTACT to add info but as soon as I click on any other CONTACT field, the database closes. In XP the database just shuts down. In Win 7 this message comes up: "R:Base 9.1 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The MEDICATION form has 33 items that do something and on it's own it always works. I have stripped EEPs out of CONTACTS to eliminate conflicts, rebuilt the forms, Echo and Trace do not show anything. What is a likely cause of the database just stopping like this? All I can think of is there is some kind of conflict, but nothing pops up that I can see.

R:Base âhangsâ if my screen power-saver kicks in I see it when I go back in, obviously. I click on the message to send details to Microsoft but its been like this since I got this computer (mid July last year). I did ask a question here but nobody had any offering that helped, unfortunately. I have all the MS updates and build 9.0.5.10104 of R:Base. I canât report this because I cannot send my PC to RBTI so that they can see what happens. At 11:16 AM 1/27/2011, Karen Tellef wrote: Alastair: You reminded me... Working on a client's 9.1 install, when you close RBase properly (close all designers, disconnect the database, close RBase from the main menu), I always get the message that the program has not closed properly, gives me several options and I pick "close the program". We're still in development mode so I hope that goes away before we go live, but have no idea what's causing it.... Dear Tom, Alastair, Karen, et al: We can assure all that the R:BASE Dream Team will not waste any time resolving reported issues. We always recommend that users first attempt to replicate an issue within a different database, or one of the RRBYW## sample databases. If you can replicate the problem, then please prepare the sample with detailed instructions and send it to the RBG9 RDCC email address, [email protected], or submit the issue within the RBG9 RDCC Client, that is embedding into the R:BASE eXtreme product. From the main Menu Bar, choose "Help" > "RBG9 R:DCC Client". Remember, the RBG9 RDCC Client interface give all users direct access to the R:BASE development team to discuss enhancements and bug-related issues. It is worth noting that in "all" R:BASE Technologies documentation, a chapter titled "Feedback" is provided, that states the same details provided above. As anyone who has reported an issue through the RDCC can tell you, it is quite simple, and fully interactive. Thank you and best regards, John Minyo II R:BASE Technologies, Inc. Customer Service
