Some kind of panic is causing many crashes

Question

my first brand new macbookpro crashed several times a day. the crash reports indicated a panic of some sort. i spent three hours at the 'genious bar' and they couldnt locate the problem, but the diagnosis came back with an error on the memory. they gave me a new laptop, and i have had seven new crashes in 2 days.
has anyone else had this problem with the new intels?
are there any suggestions?

Answer 1

A multi record form block ?? Is that a "tabular" type form ?? I tried that but I couldn't get it to work.
Here is the SQL :
SELECT a.staff_type, b.proj_number,COUNT(a.staff_id)
FROM staff a, project_staff b
WHERE a.staff_id = b.staff_id
GROUP BY a.staff_type, b.proj_number.
This works perfectly in SQL+. I amended it because I did not want the project number being displayed:
SELECT a.staff_type, COUNT(a.staff_id)
FROM staff a, project_staff b
WHERE a.staff_id = b.staff_id
GROUP BY a.staff_type
This is perfect in SQL+. I have 2 "5 row tabular" text items, one called "qty" the other called "description". The form is a Master Detail where the Master provides the Project number, the Detail I need to display the results of this SQL code.
I tried amending the code using references to block and text item fields but at best I was able to get it to work but the count for each row returned was always 1 (returned to the "qty" text item).
I know the code the code below is wrong for the Post Query trigger:
begin
select COUNT(staff_id)
into :proj_staff.qty
from proj_staff
where staff.id = *** I forgot what I put in here now !!****
and proj_number = :project.proj_num
end;
I had a 2nd piece of code in the Post Query trigger to populate the "description" text item which worked:
begin
select staff_type
into :proj_staff.description
from staff
where staff.id = :proj_staff.staff_id
end;
Any idea how I can make the COUNT function work ???
Cheers.
PS - I take it I can't use the natural join code cos it kept coming up with errors when I tried to compile it ?!!!
