[WD21] Comparison to V20 project maybe killed V21 project (1 reply)

Hello

I am just thinking out loud after yet another dead V21 project.
I think this one may be the result of running some comparisons with a V20 project and using the comparison program to make some changes in the V21 project.

At the moment I have clients running the same application in versions 16 to 21 with the majority on V20 so if I make a minor change in V20 I use the comparison program to find and update the changes into the V21 project. After doing this earlier tonight and then trying to re-open the V21 project it kept on crashing - the PCSoft dump process doesn't work - it just makes empty files. I am not game to try and prove this by repeating the process, I am just mentioning it as a yet another reason for those multiple backups I keep making. Ah paranoia, my good friend :)

I got going again from a backup but I don't think I will be using the comparison program in this manner again.

Regards
Al
