I'd second that, though I'm technically incapable of 
helping/understanding. Short of putting a catch statement in every 
single subroutine there seems no way in gambas to stop a program 
crashing when it enounters an unexpected error, which if you have others 
using the program for some mission-critical purpose this is nothing 
short of embarrassing/dangerous/annoying to the users.

Though I use the latest packages for gambas3 I find the IDE crashes out 
unexpectedly enough (e.g several times in a few hour session) for me to 
have got into the habit of clicking the save button every few minutes as 
in recent times I've lost e.g 30 mins of code due to the ide suddenly 
'disappearing'.
