Nick,
Is it possible it is a corruption or clash with windows clipboard.
The other thing that comes to mind is a Trojan or virus.
Not nice thoughts, but that's the best I can come up with, trying to think outside the square.
Sometimes an errant device driver, even video can cause weird windows behaviour.
Cheers,
Gary

Subject: RE: [vrf] Vee Pro 8.0 and 8.51 instability
What windows? Windows XP SP2.
I'm not sure its strictly true to say it can't be killed from windows task manager. More accurate is that I can't actually switch to the task manager.
If I click CTRL+ALT + DELETE, the windows security panel comes up. If I then click on "Task Manager" I just get a beep and the screen switches back to the bad vee app.
Turning off "code completion supports built-in functions" seems to help a little but system is still unstable.
I think the issue is related to some kind of memory management flaw.
The
app seems most likely to fail after I have pasted in code from another vee window. This pasted in code could be almost anything... a user function, user object, formula box or even just a line of text from a formula box, etc. Its almost guaranteed that after I do this the vee app will lock up after a few further edits.
No idea really but happens across just about all my vee apps and on all my PCs.
I struggle on...
Nick

Has anyone else experienced serious instability issues with Agilent Vee Pro 8.0 and 8.51.
The issue seems to be related to the “code completion” feature.
For example, I have a program I am working on now that is not too large. It is about 751kb in size. It does have about 40 user functions and it does use one activeX components. It also imports three or four other vee libraries. The problem is not restricted to this particular program but behaviour is typical of all programs.
When I first load the program, I can modify and edit and add to the code with no problems. However, after a while problems start occurring. First sign is that code completion stops working. If you type something into a formula box no code completion suggestions appear. At this stage the environment still works but shortly after that you can click on anything within the environment, object, menu item, etc and you get a windows beep. Thereafter the environment is locked up. You cannot even kill it from the windows task manager. If you CTRL+ALT DEL you can the task manager but when you choose to view processes, you get a windows beep and just return to see your locked up vee program.
As indicated this is happening on all but the very smallest and most simple vee programs. It is also happening on different PCs so I don’t think is a corruption on my PC. The problem becomes more likely to occur in my experience if you have more than one vee window open and particularly if you have copied a vee function or some code from one vee window to another.
Right now I am having to struggle to close and restart the vee environment every 20 minutes or so which is a real pain to say the least.
If anyone form Agilent is reading this, are you aware of this problem. Is there a workaround or patch available that fixes the problem?
Thanks and regards
Nick
