Extremely weird but it might be of interest

Morning everyone,

About a week ago I put up a question about the fact that all of a sudden I could not generate an Executable for my project. This was very worrying because I have several customers using this system.

Some good advice was given and I followed it all, and in fact it's only this morning I finally rebuilt the project library by gradually importing, compiling and backing up chunks of objects at a time.

So, I was almost in tears when, all of a sudden, the same thing happened. I could not believe it. Between the last successful executable build this morning and the first one to go wrong again the only thing I had changed was the version number. The last working one was 36.15.1.7, but having set it to 42.0.0.0 the Executable creation started freezing again.

In desperation I tried again, this time setting the version to 43.0.0.0 and .....
It worked!

So, for some reason for which there cannot possibly be a reasonable explanation, the version 42.0.0.0 seems to cause the Executable creation to freeze, at this for this project.

Bizarre? Weird? I'm lost for words, except that I've just spent 5 days rebuilding my system when I only needed to change 1 digit in the version and try again.

So if any of you ever have problems generating an executable, I strongly suggest you try changing the version number first.

Cheers
Reg
