   Shutting down and restarting GAMBAS.. i.e. quitting Gambase so that 
it is no longer running, then (either from a shell by typing 'gambas2' 
or from an icon I have on the desktop) restarting GAMBAS, reloading the 
project by selecting it from the list of recent projects, and running 
the project.

   Found another Signal 11 problem, seems related to the Editor control 
being empty on a form. I will try to be as accurate as possible without 
writing a small book :).
   Reference the project I recently sent you. It is now changed a 
little, but remains basically the same.
   On the CreateCheckPoints form of the Questware project there is an 
Editor control called 'EditorDescription'. Normally this would be 
populated from one of the tables, but when the application is newly 
installed the tables are empty and therefore so is the editor control. 
No problem, that should be OK, after all we want to use the application 
to create the data. I start by entering data into the first entry field, 
which happens to be an editable ComboBox. No problem with that... then I 
click inside the empty editor control to start entering data into it. 
*ZAP*! the application seg-faults. Oooookaaaaay.. I restart the 
application (no I did not quit GAMBAS, I just clicked on the run 
gadget). I enter info into the first field again, then skip over the 
editor field and test all the other text boxes, combo boxes, dial 
controls, and drag and drop functionality... all works OK, so I position 
the mouse over the editor control and... ->click<- *BOOM* Seg fault.
Off I go to the code. I change things so that there is default data in 
the control at form initialisation (it will get overwritten when real 
data is available from the tables). I repeat the above steps.... 
->click<-... nothing... it works as it should, no seg-fault.... very 
strange.... but I have a work around.
