If you think its a Valentina bug, who am I to argue. :-)  I'm not betting on it, but it would be good for me!

I created a small web page with links to the app.  I have links to the Mac and Windows programs with and without the VComponents.  There are also two databases - one a small test DB and the other my production data.  I will send the source code to you privately.

The web page is here:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I just had a friend test out the download and he reports that when he places the database in what he calls a "rooted" directory, the program does not crash.  (i.e. D:\DATAFOLDER\database.vdb)  When he puts the same file in the Desktop or My Documents folder, the program will crash creating the index.  I'm not that familiar with Windows to know why this would make a difference.

Agree, but I've looked hard...

I know.  I've encountered these in other applications and they can take years off one's life...
