I am having problems getting fpw26 and genscrnx to work on xp.

I have stripped out all references to MS sans serif in all screens
(including the form record).

When I rebuild all, genscrnx will fail at random points in the project. I
can't find anything consistent about where it will fail. Each time it does I
come out of fpw, go back in, delete all spr files, replace the Object field
in the pjx table with '' and rebuild all to make sure I am starting with the
same conditions each time. The project has 220 screens. It may fail on
screen 5, 38, 147, 196, it seems completely random as to where it will go
wrong.

Does anybody have any experience of getting fpw26 and genscrnx to work on
xp. The version of genscrnx is 2.0. Is there a later version available?

Many thanks

Stephen

Just in case it is relevant, I have installed the various fast patches

I believe besides the "usual" FPW 2.x fast-CPU issues, the original
GenScrnX has an additional Sys(3) problem. AFAIK Rick Bean offers
a fixed version, you may find it via http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

Thanks for the "plug" Stefan!

The "fast CPU" fix you need for GENSCRNX can be found at my local user group site - http://mmfudg.org/tips_etc.htm - GENSCRNX.ZIP [35 KB].

Worked perfectly Rick. I guessed today that it might be a timing issue with
sys(3) so had put a wait window timeout 0.1 after this line and it worked,
but your solution was easier and faster so many thanks.
