Are you sure? If yes, _PLEASE_ send me such a project file which was generated by RHIDE 1.3 and which "flaked out" in RHIDE 1.4, because one of my goals is to be upwards compatible at least with the project files. > I'm not sure if the "incompatibility", or whatever a more knowledgable > person would call it, includes the GDT (rhide desktop) files... The desktop file (*.gdt) is known to be not compatible with RHIDE 1.4, but for this you should get only a message and nothing else. >> I found and tried another RHIDE 1.3 gpr file.... (I first moved the GDT...) and it DID work!! Then I moved the GDT back to the directory with the GPR file... and it gave the error message... but the "flaking out" that occured after I initially installed RHIDE 1.4... ... I told Robert... ...where the project NOR the desktop file opened anything... and there was just a blinking cursor that moved occasionally when I attempted ALT + [ any menu key ]... and the key sequence to quit wouldn't work at all.... WELL - although I tried several GPRs before I posted anything about it... all w/ the same result - I didn't get this glitch this time.... I got the message robert told me about.... It's safe to say I was wrong.... I jumped the gun... and I'm mad at myself for doing it.... - I'll revisit my post as soon as I can to make the correction.... I'm scratching my head, because the "flaking out" I discribed DID occur after I initially installed RHIDE 1.4.... Sorry, Jim
