Jim,
Continuing with me fixing >my< problems that led to the "Long Switchlist - Short Cutlist" problems of a few months ago I wanted to clear all existing engine assignments before I established new ones. When I do the following ProTrak completely shuts down.
click on Power Desk / Motive Power
click on an engine that has a train number in the "Location" column
On the Changing engine X of: Y screen highlight and try to delete the train number in the "Is assigned to" slot
Click on OK / Yes / OK / Yes and that is when ProTrak closes down completely for me.
Hope that you can reproduce this occurrence. Again use my SVL-pre-s4 folder if you still have it. If not I can send another one up but we are leaving for more travel on Friday morning and won't be back till the 27-th
thanks
Joe

Joe,
Must be the heat in central Florida. ProTrak needs a least a glimpse of some honest snow from time-to-time.
~~~
I was not able to duplicate this, using various railroad data including your SVL. I was not able even to cast an error for the error-detection.
I was not able, either, to get your sequence of "OK", "Yes", "OK", "Yes". Was the first "OK" the "green-background" button at the lower right? What were the questions for the various "Yes"?
Also I tried various ways of deleting the train number/symbol. Did you highlight and 'delete'? Or did you delete each character one-by-one? Or did you enter a zero? Or?
~~~
To get ProTrak to simply turn off, the logic would have to have been directed through a routine without any error detection. Which would be a surprise at this late date. I went through all the possible routines that "Edit engine" calls and they all have error detection.
Or .... maybe ProTrak just got too hot out in the sun.

Jim,
I've spent an hour here trying to capture screen shots of the sequence that lead me to have the issue of ProTrak quitting on me. However I cannot seem to duplicate the sequence that yesterday was very repetitive. In times when I get ProTrak to quit I see a small window with "Run time error '5' / Invalid procedure call or argument" in it. I think when I was deleting the train number I just highlighted the train number and hit the space bar.
So for now since I need to do things to get ready for our trip on Friday let's drop this problem.
Thanks for the pointer to update the "admin / limit / locos" number.

Joe,
I want to get to the bottom of this too.

That helps.... Space-bar.... never thought of doing that!
Thanks,
Jim
