Program run error

[Bob Stark]

I brought this up in a prior link. When I download my data into
the program, if I choose a date to download, I get this message:
Run time error 91. object variable or with block variable not set.
If I click on the eye, to download all data, everthing works fine.
I'm running XP Pro, on a new Dell Inspiron 600m....any suggestions????

Bob, this is the only report I have ever received on this unusual crash. Usually it is the opposite and we have the user delete files and that fixes it. The cache and memory overload issues are averted by selecting a specific date.

Here are a couple longshot solutions -

1) Check the date/time in your computer to verify that it is correct and working in the current year 2005.

2) Go to the Control Panel and look at the Date/Time/Language | 'Change Date Time Formatting'. Be sure the format type listed is USA (mmddyy) and English language; some Canadian and European computers do crash when loading HTR if these items are not set for USA date type formatting or English language.

For my part, i'll look at the code when the specific date is checked and try to figure out if there is anything that would trigger this from the error message you provided.

Nope, no problems with the date, time, place & language.

Bob, the code is identical for the load of the files when the all the races are initiated, or the single date. So I don't suspect the processing code at all.

The error is an "object" problem. The only two objects involved that could cause this are the check box and the drop down box with the list of dates. According to this error 91, one of them is not initialized prior to clicking the eyeball.

Try selecting from the dropdown box prior to clicking the check-box. In other words, access the drop-down box (object) to initialize some date prior to clicking the checkmark or clicking the eyeball. Maybe by using the drop-down box first, it 'initializes' the object.

Very tricky and and finding some of these is like needle in a haystack. But what else can you do but try everything, no matter how stupid it seems!

I don't know why this would crash on one computer but not all the others. When I get Vegas in July, if you'll bring your laptop, I can probably solve it.

I get the same error on my other laptop after I download a bunch of files and click into HTR to unzip them. It was a pain, but no big deal because I just went back into the program and all was well.
Doesn't happen on the laptop I use most of the time tho...weird.

Aha - a possible clue, thanks Andy.

Bob - does the error occur if you do NOT have unzipped files waiting in the folder? I wonder if the unzipping process may trigger the error? Try pulling a single date without a fresh download.
