OK, I figured out the problem...
In my Lingo code, I was inadvertantly opening the V12 database in "ReadWrite" mode,
and that was fine as long as the file was on the HD (not 'read only' as when on a CD).
It threw me, because everything was working until burned to a CD-- and when executing
a search from the CD, V12 behaved
normally at first.
It opened the database and started looking through the records until it got to 499 and
then hung.
Was trapping for errors more closely in author mode, but for the sake of faster code
execution at runtime, I was not in certain
instances.
So it got me(for a while), and I just wanted to share the info...
