Re: Same form, but one system GPFs...?

Kenneth,

Since you went back to a system-image of a time when all worked fine, 
you should not be dealing with a paradox, bde or windows problem. The 
logical conclusion would be, that you are either dealing with a hardware 
problem in either the PC itself or it's connection to the network.

But a problem in that area, that only influences 1 form seems rather 
unlikely. Unless there is something special about that form, that makes 
it trigger the problem, where the others don't. So is there anything 
specific about that form, that really makes it stand out from the 
others? Does it access local- and/or network files or tables, that the 
other forms don't? Does it access a larger number of tables; is it much 
larger in size; does it use libraries, that the others don't; etc.

If such things are not the case, then a hardware problem remains rather 
unlikely. Then the next best place to look, would be the server or 
networksettings; could there be anything on there, that restrict this 
specific PC in a way that the other PC's are not restricted?

Kind regards
Jan Stegehuis
