<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>crash
log tells something about problems with the index” in your email. Do you mean
it is the database index? If yes, then could you build a little tool that simply
re-indexes the database. All it would do is run “REINDEX DATABASE”
against the valentina database. I have a similar tool that customers use
to re-index the database when it goes corrupt for some reason. May be that
might work for you. </span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Recently, I had very mysterious crashes on the mac
myself. This is an application that has been running fine on the Mac for about
2 years. It was built using Director MX 2004 and Valentina 3.5 and the
application would crash on the Mac (OSX 10.5.6 with intel processor) for no
rhyme or reason. Worse, it would run fine one time and crash the next time. I
tried all kinds of error checking and it would still give me the “the
application quit unexpectedly” crash. The crash log was not much help
either. I spent a lot of time/effort into trying to fix this with no success. I
was advised to upgrade it to Director 11 and use the Universal Binary for the Mac.
I have done that and for about a month now, there have been no crashes on OSX
10.5 or OSX 10.4. I don’t know if you used Director and if yes, then what
version of Director you used (UB or not) but that might be what will fix it for
good.</span></font></p>

read only valentina db. My App runs fine on some hundreds of Win machines and
also some Macs</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Now I have a customer
(not verified perhaps two), where my app crashes immediately, when doing any
select on the db without any error message, it just quits. After the crash, the
app can’t be started anymore. At any attempt the user gets the error message
“the app was quit unexpectedly”. The user has to deinstall the app
and reinstall it to be able to start the app again. A restart of the Mac
doesn’t changes anything. But with the first click on any button, where a
select is send to the db, the app crashes again and is unusable anymore. The
crash log tells something about problems with the index (has Ruslan already
analyzed). I am not using a separate index file.</span></font></p>
