Hi Mike,
So your roots have some sticky fingers as well. Damn, I can still vividly remember the tape and donut hell that once was the norm.

Good times, man.

Seems your getting used to the AD recently. The posting volume has been dropping on the AD list and the typical post is not such a desparate plea for assistance any longer. 8^> Good on yah.


Yep, AD is making more sense. I've sorted out how to perform the routine things that I need to so, while I am certain that there are better ways to do them lurking under the hood.

That said, it is troubling that the very problem with the old Protel Client (routine Windows exceptions in module ADVPCB.EXE) that forced me to spend the Big Bucks to upgrade to Designer 6 /still/ has not been fixed: 6.3 crashed pretty frequently, too, with the same error.

Yet, there has been some improvement: while Client cheerfully corrupted open files when it crashed, Designer does not seem to. Even better, 6.5 seems to be much stabler: I've not had a crash yet(searches for a piece of wood to tap), even on the moon!
