1) Dont use the MDI Synchronization extension - the source of millions of
GPFs (specially with with98)

2) Upgrade to 9031 and read carefully why the MDI synchronization was
developed in the first place.
Specially if you have menus in Browses/Procedures delete them and use
buttons or another approach.

3) Do you have the maximum attribute on the windows/Browses? Then uncheck
IMMEDIATE on these windows

My users havent seen a GPF (Win98, XP and 2000) since I have done the above
....
