Crash on saving file with fix but what was the cause?

I recently encountered a problem that cost me several hours. I'm posting my story in case someone else encounters it and also in the hope that someone might have an insight into the cause.
For no apparent reason, Frame began crashing on attempting to save a particular chapter file in a book. The file has several anchored frames (floating, anchored at top of column) and a cross reference to each. All of the anchored frames, their contents, and cross references had been in the file for many months with no problem.
Various experiments isolated the problem to one of the anchored frames. Deleting the frame stopped the crashes but wasn't much of a fix because I needed the frame. Eventually I found that moving the anchor/link for the frame to a different paragraph eliminated the crashes.
I'm using Frame 7.2p158 on Windows XP SP3. For what it's worth, exporting to MIF and back to Frame didn't help, nor did deleting and recreating the anchored frame in the same location.

Great sleuthing to narrow it down to a specific anchored frame! A few questions:
What kind of content was in the anchored frames? was it for example a graphic copied into the frame, were there OLE (linked) objects, or was it a referenced graphic file, or ?? What setting do you have for File > Preferences "Save FrameImage with Imported Graphics"?
Also, how much RAM do you have on your system? Do you often have other apps open when you work in FM, e.g. MS Office apps, or Photoshop or whatever?
Years ago I recall having a problem with anchored frames seeming to cause crashes, it was as if FM was reaching some internal limit and at some point it just went "kablooie". I'm pretty certain that getting more RAM was the definitive solution in my case.

  • Nice updates/fixes but what about the reception issue?

    Don't want to beat a proverbial dead horse, but what about making the IPhone 4 a better receiver of calls? My 3Gs was the BEST phone I ever owned. I rarely had a dropped call, I was able to make and receive calls in places where no phone I had owned previously could. When I read that this phone had the best reception of any IPhone (according to Apple) I went and made the switch. Yes, I read many posts where folks say just that, great phone. I am on IPhone 4 number three and all have been plagued with reception issues, thought the first two were worse than this one. I go to the same locations every day and the 3Gs sent and received calls remarkably better. Just sayin.....

    What ps issue? I have none!! The reception issue is real and I lose signal in places where my 3GS would not.. I can hold my 3gs any way I like and still use the internet.. While using my iPhone 4 in the same place, all I get is the spinning wheel of death and it does not connect.. I've had the bumper on it since I got it and while it may help a little, it does NOT make the issue disappear..
    Just because an issue doesn't effect YOUR phone, doesn't mean it's not an issue for others..
    if you are not using a case then you are just ... idk... slow or something.
    because apple put the antenna on the outside of the phone it is easier to attenuate the signal but it also gives much better reception. i have not dropped one call on my iphone 4... i was dropping tons of calls on my 3Gs and i am in the same area.
    i have tried to attenuate the signal on my phone and cannot with the case on no matter how i hold it. if i take the case off and hold the sweet spot it drops like crazy. maybe your bumper isn't covering the antenna well enough.
    i got the incipio NGP for 19 bucks at walmart. if you put that case on and still have the issue then i think you are totally full of cr@p.

  • Create the dbf file with java, but cannot display the data with VF

    Dear all,
    i create a dbf file with some java packages, this file can be opened and display all of the data with excel, but just can show the data structure and no any data when i open it with VF, how to solve it?

    Hi, I have got same problem as you. My application generates a DBF file from a resultset. In MS Excel it looks pretty good - all data, but when I try to open same DBF file with Fox or MS Access, I always see ONLY header(column names), but NO data! I don't know why?! The application generates this file using JDBF classes (version 1.0). I guess, maybe it is caused by the size of this file. The DBF file had 18 columns and over 32000 rows.
    Did you find the cause? I'll be grateful for help.

  • I download latest software update for itunes and iphone. they successfully download, but then a message comes up saying unable to install as file has been corrupted. what is the cause?

    I download latest updates for itunes and my iphone, when it comes to installing, it successfully downloads, but then i get a message for iphone software error=1403 file corrupted, and for itunes it downloads, then when i try to install it a message says unable to install software, file maybe corrupted!! 

    The iTunes update must be downloaded and installed before you try and use it to update the iPhone OS
    Download iTunes 10.2.2 from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103
    When it completes it will auto mount the disc image and show you the package installer, don't try and do anything with the file until it gets to this stage.
    Once that's installed reboot the Mac, run iTunes, connect your iPhone and let it sync, then hit the update button and let it complete that step by itself (which will require a restart of the iPhone)

  • I need a slideshow to display my comic pages. I tried the one that comes with muse, but what if the user wants to make the comic page bigger?  How could that be done please?

    also I like the look of the lightbox but don't want the thumbnails.  why, in this mode, is the thumbnail box uncheckable to make it go off?

    1. Use menu "File/AddFiles for Upload" to upload an image of whatever size.
    2. Place a smaller version of this Image or an icon of your choice on your page.
    3. Use the hyperlink command in the upper command strip to link the small image to the uploaded file ("Link to file …")
    4. If someone clicks onto the places image, the big version is loaded into an extra browser window and allows scaling..
    Your second question: How should one trigger a lightbox, it there is no thumbnail to do it?
    Alternative: Use the lightbox display composition and delete all triggers but one. Place into the lightbox a basic slideshow without any thumbnail. This way you have one trigger to start a slideshow within a lightbox

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

    My Mac shows file with question mark, what now.

    Press the power button down to force a emergency use only hardware shutdown.
    Press and hold the Option/alt key on the built in keyboard, boot the machine.
    If MacintoshHD appears, select it and click the arrow, then in System Preferences > Startup Disk reset that. Done.
    Sometimes a NVRAM reset is required then the above done again.

    If MacintoshHD doesn't appear, or if it boots to gray screen or other issues, then it's more complicated of a fix, but once inside OS X then reset the Startup Disk.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar

    You might need this if you don't have a recent backup and your problem is software related, Disk Utiltiy can't fix the drive and recommends you backup, erase and install.

    If Disk Utility + Hardware Test shows no boot drive, then you have a dead drive or cable, or Mac issue.

  • I downloaded Itunes 10.6 but my computer said itunes is not a 32 bit version.  It said to download the 64 bit version.  but it was the 64 bit version. What can I do to fix this.

    I downloaded the update itunes 10.6 and My computer won't install it.  It sais that the program is a 32 bit version that I needed to download the 64 bit version.  But it was the 64 bit version.  I am thinking about getting rid of my ipod and itunes.  I wish I hadn't upgraded.  Now I can't even use itunes.  It loads up but it won't go onto itunes store.

    You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
    There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
    If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: <br />
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Interface output file : tab limited vs flat file with fixed length

    hey guys,
    any idea on difference b/w to file type : flat file with fixed length or tab limited file
    thanks

    Tab Delimited:
    Two Field are seperated by a TAB
    eg. SANJAY    SINGH
    First field is First Name and Second is Sir Name.
    Nth field will be after N -1 tab
    Fixed Length:
    Every field has a fixed starting position and length
    eg. SANJAY     SINGH
    Here First field start from Position 1 and has lenght 10 and 2nd field start from 11th postion and has lenght 10.
    Fixed Length -> The lenght of each field is fixed, while in tab delimited the lenght of field is not fixed but we know it ends when the Seperatot (Tab) is encountered.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

  • How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

    Hi!
    To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
    Alternative 1: one record per row
    SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET UTF8
    LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
    INFILE unicode.dat
    INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
    TRUNCATE
    A CHAR(2) ,
    B CHAR(6) ,
    C CHAR(2) ,
    D CHAR(1) ,
    E CHAR(4)
    ) Datafile:
    001111112234444
    01NormalDExZWEI
    02ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
    03ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
    04üüüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Alternative2: variable length records
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET UTF8
    LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
    INFILE unicode_var.dat "VAR 4"
    INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
    TRUNCATE
    A CHAR(2) ,
    B CHAR(6) ,
    C CHAR(2) ,
    D CHAR(1) ,
    E CHAR(4)
    ) Datafile:
    001501NormalDExZWEI002702ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö002604üuüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Problems
    Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
    * How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
    * How to suppress the POSITION definition?
    * How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
    Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

    Hi Carsten
    If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.
    Cheers
