Command Buttons and Disappearing Code
Tim Witort
class, when I realized that *all* of the method code was
gone. This was some time ago. In one case, I think
I just bailed out of VFP completely and restarted and
all was well. In the other case, I actually had to
restore a backup. But since I use "DataKeeper" (makes
continuous backups of every development file that changes),
I really didn't loose much, if anything.
One very disconcerting thing that happened just a week
or so ago was when I was working on the code in a custom
form method. I made some changes, then saved the form.
All of the changes disappeared. I made the changes again
and saved. The same thing happened. I repeated this
several times, making a variety of small changes. Every
time I saved, the changes went away and the code was
back in its pre-edit form. I shutdown VFP and restarted
and it worked fine after that. Now *that* is scary.
