Open data-aware form –> Error 3 bug

[Steven Kang]

1. Open a data-aware form such as ardrport.sxf or checkin.sxf. 2. Then close the form and associated datasources, either using File->Close All or close the form and datasources seperately. 3. Then try and open the *same* form in the *same* session; an Error 3 is raised for each datasource the form is associated with. The form opens but not the associated datasources. You have to quit Simpol Personal, then run it again and then open the form for it to load without the error message and open the associated datasources. Does Simpol Personal close the datasources but somehow leave them in a “locked” state? Steven

Hi Steven,

I am currently ripping my hair out about this one. It is a "known bug"
for now, in that I know about it and am cursed with it. The problem
appears to be that a reference to those files is left dangling somewhere
and not freed, which keeps them open. You may not have noticed, but
there is noway to "shut" a file in SIMPOL. Then there are no remaining
references to the object, then it is closed automatically. In this case,
I can't seem to track down where the reference is that keeps it open. I
am still looking.

Ciao, Neil
