Form not opening

[Jean Vallee]

I have created & recreated a form (twice) in FD. It saves without complaint. No db attached. Cannot reopen at all. NO MESSAGES. No obvious problems when I look at the XML as compared to known working forms. If I try to open with appw.openformdirect, it blows up somewhere in the databaseforms library at dataform1.setcontainer but it still doesn’t help me find out why. What should I be looking for?? I’m reluctant to try it again without some answers. I’ve wasted 2/3 of a whole day trying to track this down! Jean Vallee

If you have a form like this you can send it to me. If you want to know why it is failing, import the formlib and databaseforms
projects into your code and follow the opendataform1() function through.

Related. From a problem I had last week. When a form won't open often
you'll get a message with a line number. But finding line number for
example, 1987, is fairly difficult. Is there a way to put line numbers
"on" if you open an .sfx in the IDE?

There is no option to turn on line numbers at all that I recall, but the current line and column number of the cursor is always
shown in the lower right portion of the main window. This is true regardless of the document format.

I never even notice the current line in the lower right! Thanks!
