Re: Hitting "Run" only compiles (sometimes)

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay so it's officially not just me then.

I'll put it on the bugtracker.

I've been looking at the source but i think it needs some work to track it
down.
Looks like there are many function calls that will stop running that do not
give clear indication of the error.

Just for an example, the Project.CheckRunning method.

Private Function CheckRunning(Optional bCompileAll As Boolean) As Boolean

  If Project.Running Then Return
  If Compile(bCompileAll) Then Return True
  If CheckStartupClass() Then Return True

End

So if the above method returns True it will not run, but I think why is a
mystery.

I would have to change many conditional calls like that to give an error
message so the issue can be located.
the issue is sporadic and i've not yet been able to reproduce it :-/ lol.

I'll investigate a bit more and see if i can find the problem before Benoit
returns. (He'd probably figure it out in 2 minutes)

Cheers for the confirmation folks :)
Respects
BruceS
