- Earlier today DDE crashed doing something innocuous, like opening a subform. I don't recall exactly, sadly, except it was quite unexpected doing something quite trivial.
- But I relaunched and pressed on. Just now I double-clicked "Views" in the "Application" panel to show all Views, and DDE simply freaked. The "Application" panel lost all content except the little "Folder" icons along its left edge, and the top entry ("Forms" I think) had a little box around it, like an in-place edit, though I never clicked there. The main DDE window was utterly blank ... not a single pixel of content anywhere.
- So I closed DDE and relaunched it. Straight away the "Application" panel had a line about 1/4 of the way down, and it would never paint anything below that line, putting in scroll bars instead, like it thought the window ended there.
- I clicked the little + next to Views to expand it, and the shorter incarnation of "Applications" reverted to all "Folder" icons and no text again, but I don't recall DDE going blank. I clicked the little + again, and it went straight to the Twilight Zone.
- I have two monitors, and DDE is on the second one; I never run anything maximized. I detest maximized windows. At this Twilight Zone point it put the "Application" panel on the left monitor, maximized, and it the Editor window on the right monitor, maximized. Not only that, but it would not allow me to navigate to other windows, like the Notes Client, or the browser I had open. Every pixel of every screen was devoted to DDE and would not allow anything else. Even the Task Bar didn't work right ... it would only paint the "Start" button ... the rest of the bar was missing, or it was empty and the same color as what was there, so I couldn't see it (including the system tray). If I launched something new using the "Start" button, it appeared on the screen until I did anything outside that window, when it vanished.
- I had to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and call up Process Explorer, then kill all Notes processes. All "vanished" windows re-appeared, having been put under the spazzing DDE. My system *appears* to be normal, but I haven't tried to use DDE yet.
- The system claimed it created NSD for both instances, if those should be desired.
Thanks for your time...
