I've had problems with Form Designer recently.
I had a control with an options event script, which worked fine. I then wanted to change the event so it used the quickevent to call a program which did almost the same thing as the script used to. So I selected Clear Event from the Edit menu in the Event Editor withing Form Designer, then set up the quickevent and recompiled.
But, when I tested the window, the old options event was executed instead of the new one. I could trace through the old script in the debugger.
A closer look at things revealed that the SYSREPOSEVENTS record for the options event had been deleted, but not the SYSREPOSEVENTEXES one. I deleted this too, recompiled and this time it worked.
Shouldn't Form Designer take care of this?

Henry,
Normally OI does clean up after itself but occasionally it gets confused. I'm sure there are a variety of semi-rare situations where this occurs (e.g. Form Designer crashes just before it removes the event). If you run the SCAN_REP utility every so often it will find these "orphaned" events and remove them for you.
