Possible Bug in AB 2.2c

I'm running AB version 2.2c on Win98 OSR 2. When I minmize AB I can't
maximize it again. I can see it on my taskbar and I can click on it
and select it, but it doesn't maximize. I also cannot right click on
it on the taskbar to get the roll out menu to appear and use the
maximize or restore option for it. Does anyone else have this
problem? I've noticed it happening for quite some time, but I don't
remember which version it started in. I only say something now as I
just lost a large roster I was working on, because the only thing I
could do was to shut it down with the task manager. I've noticed
happen on a Windows 2000 machine as well. Rob is this a bug?

I've occasionally had trouble when running AB along with other programs
(I can cite Word and the AB Creator as specific examples). It won't
minimize properly, and you can't click on AB to make it the active
program. The solution has been to minimize everything else that's running.

Hi, I found that this happened to me in Win95 at 1 time. Did you
right click on the taskbar and try Undo Minimize All. This may work,
if it doesn't, then thats just how I got it to open again.

Cheers,
Peppy

...I'm running AB version 2.2c on Win98 OSR 2...

Have you tried running the System File Checker on Windows?

It seems pretty good a fixing all kinds of those little instability bugs
that you just shrug off most of the time, running through looking for
corrupted (or potentially corrupted) files and then replacing them from the
Windows CD. You can set it to always prompt and back-up if you're nervous of
leaving it to its own devices.

Start - Accessories - System Tools - Tools - System File Checker

Under certain conditions, it is possible to minimize AB while you have a
child window visible. Normally, this should not be possible (e.g. if you
have the Special Items form open, you can't access the main menu on the
window behind). However, I have been told that it is possible to accomplish
this under certain conditions. According to the information I've received,
it only occurs when an in-progress message is being displayed (e.g. while
loading data files or saving a roster). If you minimize AB while the
in-progress message is visible, AB will minimize and then become hung. This
is an obscure bug that would likely take a LOT of work to try and figure
out. Fixing it also assumes that I can reproduce the problem on my end, and
sort far I haven't been able to reproduce it on my system.

All I can suggest is to be careful not to minimize AB when there is an
in-progress message visible. If anyone can come up with more detailed
information that allows me to reproduce this problem, then I will take a
look and try to gauge how much work it will take to fix the problem.
Failing that, it's really difficult to fix a bug that you can't reproduce,
so it will likely remain unfixed until I can reproduce it. :-)

Thanks, Rob

Rob,

I can't get it to reproduce right now. I don't remember any in
progress messages at the time. I'll definately make note of exactly
what's happening next time. I'm usually more observant of these kind
of things. Troubleshooting PCs and Servers is my job. This problem is
a common thing on my machine.

Thanks,

Joe
