Hello Robert,

This is what I still don't understand. If this is the cause, how could it have worked previously and not anymore when restoring the complete backup?

If I had an issue like this and restoring a backup, it was invariably some VS problem. Otherwise restoring a backup solved it.

Dick,
I would love to blame Ms for this, but this was an error in our code...

Hello Robert,

This you wrote, but that still keeps me wondering how it was possible that the earlier version worked for him, and once he did restore this very same working version from the backup it didn't.

Hi Dick,

I suspect that Roland had restored an earlier version of the form.designer.prg file, but kept the form.prg with the code that caused the problem.
