<DIV>I tested your version of formsedit on my computer and it works correctly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a big clue I think. We now have the same program built on two different machines. One works well and one has a bug. The bug manifests on both systems using same EXE, so we can rule out a difference in the computer causing the bug to manifest. Thus, there must be either (1) a difference in the source code base, OR (2) a difference in the way the EXE is produced.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If we could compare the two source trees and find them identical, then the problem could be traced to #2. If the sources differ, the problem could still be #2, but more likely would be #1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Would it make sense for me to make a tar gzip file of my cm3 source tree and send to you for compare? Alternately, you could make the tarball and send to me for compare with my source tree.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
