New Post: FoxTabs: another deadly line of code

Well this is pretty strange.

I blanked everything out of my Config.fpw file so I am starting VFP with minimum overhead.
Then I did the following:

DO <path>\Foxtabs.app
MODI COMM
Typed in oUtil.trace('XR',[oFirm var type: ]+VARTYPE
As soon as I hit the paren key, it blew.

Tried this a couple of times, but then I noticed that I had a project window open, since VFP brings up my most recent project by default.

I closed the project window and was able to type the full line. So I opened the project and tried it again - still worked. Then I quit VFP, brought it back up, with the project open by default, and repeated the above steps - no problem this time.

So I put my startup scripts back in place. It now loads Thor, Web Connection, FoxTabs and my custom menu tab. It's also still opening that project by default. I opened a blank PRG and was able to type the line with no problems. But then I brought up the original PRG where the problem first showed up. Tried typing the line in there and it crashed again.

So it may have something to do with the size of the PRG - this one is just over 100K. If I have time later I could try some smaller files to see if there's a magic byte size.
