I was having a similar problem with a custom tree browse. Sometimes when I re-entered the procedure there was just nothing showing up in the browse. What I found was that the filemanager's method for keeping track of how many times the file had been opened on the particular thread was getting lost and confused. I straightened it out with this bit of code in the Window Manager's Kill method: Loop Open(ConType,ReadWrite) IF Errorcode() = 52 ! File Already Open Relate:ConType.Close Else Close(Contype) Break End End This just insures that the _actual_ closed state is in sync with what the filemanager _thinks_ the closed state is.

This app was converted from 2003 to C4. (I won't > make *that* mistake again!). I have had to redo a number of > functions in the C4 version of the app. > > This worked fine in 2003.
