Sounds like you are fouling your memory somewhere. Pointer? Out of bounds
on an array?

When you save in FBII you will notice a split second after the save, the
check marks are refreshed. If you save and run in two really quick key
presses, you will bypass FBs effort to put in the check mark (and flag the
file) for a recompile. Comes from hurrying too much. I only do it about 1/2
the time any more. *smile*
