James, I did a research in those functions , none of them closes the database, this database is always open As per changing the workarea , my netopen function makes sure the database is opened in the same area in case of , this is why i tried to trapp if select(calias) = 0 return nil endif Harvey , ...

It looks like he may have the error at msgwait() also. Strange.

James It looks like Richard getting same error at msgwait(). See his first post.
Odd that we both get the dbskipper error at the same place.
Lets see if he confirms this.

Harvey,

I just did a search of all the FWH source code and the only place msgWait() occurs is in the definition of the msgWait() function.

So, if you are getting an error at msgwait() it must be in your code.

James

Richard:

Where in your code does it bomb out. Mine seems to be at a msgWait()

Richard, Your code is too complex to make a guess about the problem. But, any one of those functions called by the buttons could be closing the database under some circumstances. Another possibility is that there is a non-alias reference call in TXbrowse and it only becomes a problem when the workar...

Richard, >There is an alias in my browse definition >It looks like , somewhere, xbrowse is losing the alias I did a search of cAlias in TDatabase (dated 6/9/09) and I cannot find anywhere where cAlias is assigned nil or "". The only other possibility I can think of is that the databa...

James

There is an alias in my browse definition

It looks like , somewhere, xbrowse is losing the alias

This is why i am using all these traps

The code is big, i can show it no problem , i am not sure it will help

Richard

Richard,

I am not sure why you need those cAlias traps. I don't see how you can create a browse without an alias since it is automatically created in the New() method. Do you know under what circumstances it is giving the alias error? Can you provide a small sample showing the error?

Regards,
James

Harvey

still waiting for a fix

Richard

Richard:

Do youR fix in the method is a permanent fix or are you still waiting for a fix?

I have this error on some of my clients pcs randomly, i think it has to be adressed. here it a copy of the error.log Error description: Error DBCMD/2001 Workarea not in use: DBSKIPPER Stack Calls =========== Called from: => DBSKIPPER(0) Called from: C:\PRODUCTION\CBATIPROD\xbrowse.prg => (b)TX...

Harvey, et. al.; If you are setting the codeblocks yourself, please post that code here. If you are you should probably be using setRDD() instead (unless you need some special codeblock actions). I suspect that you have a database function in one of your codeblocks that is not using an alias. This i...

Peter, Harvey

I have seen this error as well .. using Hernan's twbrowse .. best I can tell this error occurs when the last row has been deleted from the listbox and you use an UpStable() call ..

Take a look there to see if you can pin it down.
