I hate my life. More crashes.

[Zav - Alex Zavatone]

Thank you Gunnar.  It appeared that I needed to pass the name of the 
table in the creation of the cursor, not the table ref.

But do not fear, I can still cause Valentina to take Director down 
faster than Mike Tyson against Michael Jackson.

This must be a special talent I was born with.  It just took till my 
late 30's to find it.  So many years wasted.  So sad.

Running the following code after initing Valentina yet again caused 
Director to vaporize. (DMX, Os 10.2.5)

on ReadFromUserDatabase
   put "creating user database"
   myDBPath = the moviepath & "username.vdb"
   myDBTable = "Users"
   myDB = new( xtra "VDatabase")-- NEW INSTANCE OF THE XTRA

   OpenDataBase(myDB, myDBPath,1) -- CREATE DATABASE FROM SCRATCH

   myBaseTableRef = GetBaseObjectName(myDB, 1) -- Get the TABLE  **** 
The baseRef OBJ is the table
   
   -- ...then your addField stuff.
   userField = "Username"
   passwordField = "Password"
   hintField = "Hint"

   -- create a cursor object
   myDBref = myDB.GetRef()
   --  
   myCrsRef = new(xtra "VCursor", myDBref, "SELECT * FROM" && 
myDBTable)--myBaseTableRef)
   put ValentinaError()
   myCrsRef.SetBlank()
   -- add Zav as a user with ferrari as password and "Italian sports 
car" as hint.
   myUser = "Zav"
   myPassword = "ferrari"
   myHint = "Italian Sports Car"
   myCrsRef.AddRecord([myUser, myPassword, myHint])

   --  flush the db
   myDB.Flush()
   -- Clear the cursor reference
   myCrsRef = 0

   -- Close the database
   CloseDataBase(myDB)
end
