Anyone know why this works fine on a PC but causes directorto crash on the Macintosh side?

[Kristafer Vale]

Hi Ruslan,

After following your advice I have been able to capture the error number
just before it crashes Director in OSX. The error codes is 363 but I can't
find a reference to it in any of the Valentina PDF's. It happens after the
line:

Set mySlidesCursor = new(xtra "VCursor", getRef(gMyLessonDB), query, 2, 3,
2)

I still can't figure out why this only happens in the MacOSX version of my
application the very same code works fine on the PC.

Any insight into what error code 363 is? Or any other thing that might help
me out?

Thx in advance.

I think that if you set break point and stop just before GetRecordCount()
Then you will see that mySlidesCursor contains not normal value.
E.g. Some big negative integer value.

This means that cursor was not created.
You should always check Valentina Error after cursor creation.

I think you will find some error code that Valentina have return you.
