   Re: GPVs - ALL DAY, EVERY DAY- why?

   Bertil,   
      
   My Users tell me that they are not using any particular screen or running   
   any particular process when the GPVs occur.  Based on the postings I’ve read   
   I have asked one Super User to move her TASK BAR to the Top and Maximize   
   Paradox to see if that will eliminate the GPVs.  If it does eliminate the   
   GPVs I will add to my Main Menu screen’s init method   
   ShowApplicationBar(True)   
   sleep()   
   ShowApplicationBar(False)   
      
   I hope that Jim Moseley  will give this a try and let the NewsGroup know   
   if it eliminates the GPVs his Users have been getting for 2 years!
