[V4RB] Newbie Problem - Desperate for help !

[Brian Farrell]

Ruslan,

I do not understand what is wrong with the code shown. I am using a cursor
for each table but only to manage selects. I have used the RB Tutorial as a
template for what I have done and for all other tables it works fine.
In the RB debugger it looks correctly configured. If you access the db
object it shows all tables as objects. If I click on the Table object to
view
it, all is fine. But if I click on the field object it crashes. It does not
do this with any other table. Is it possible someone could take 5 minutes to
look at the code?

What is worrying is I am not creating the tables in code. I used VAPP
to create the schema. The crash causes the table to be dropped from the
schema.
Very worrying. Luckily it's only a 2 field table. I have tried dumping xml
and
loading xml to create a fresh schema but to no effect.
