I am using the HTML Builder, trying to add an onclick event to a button. Every time I go to the events tab and click on the elipse the code opens up briefly then Focus freezes up and I get the (Not Responding) message.

Any Ideas?

Does anyone have a good reference for writing event proceedures into the code rather than using the events tab? It seems like I can open the code with Focus crashing as long as I don't go through the event tab....but I'm no code writer

are you sure its crashing and not just hanging for a while? depending on what you are trying to do it can take a while for the GUI to respond- i seem to remember that certain things like this in the painter could make it seem like its crashed- freezing the application with seemingly no repsonse- but then it comes back-

what can happen if you try and get it to respond during this time is that it actually does crash by getting overloaded with requests... but ive found that often waiting it out gets you there in the end-

you may want to make that action the last thing you do before you go home- leave it chugging all night- if you come back and its done you know it just takes a long time

im not trying to school you in program-crashing 101 but do know that DS can seem unreponsive when really its is working away under the hood-

but yes i would go the coding route personally- either use the documentation, get some training or reverse engineer your existing reprots by opening them up in editor and analysing what each line of code does...
