Extrange form problem

To all:

I have a extrange problem with a form.

It was working properly and one day I wanted to
modify something...
To my surprise at the bottom of the form
after the endclass

the whole whole form gets duplicated.

like

good part
..
..
endclass
// form duplicated from this point
endclass
with (this)
onOpen = class::FORM_ONOPEN
open = class::FORM_OPEN
..
..
..

It has a few buttons, a couple of grids and a few entryfields

I have tried to find out the problem... maybe a enddo missing
and also I have tried to delete everything step by step
to find the culprit... but I do not see a solution.

It only happens to this form

Any idea or sugestion?

idea:
check the headline of the form, there should be something like "END=20
HEADER - do not remove this line" (translated in your language...).

suggestion:
better don't use the form-designer for forms, which are already in=20
production (used in a real program).

--=20

André:
the "END HEADER - do not remove this line"

IS there.. no problem.

I have kept trying to solve it but no way..

Always duplicates the form....

If I erase the duplicated part and save it... it works fine..
But if I open it to modify something... well is duplicated
again .. a real pain.

Thanks

Emilio

It sounds like you have the word FUNCTION or PROCEDURE as the beginning
of a comment, or something like that. This confuses dBASE, and it gets a
little strange ... check also for CLASS and things like that as the
first word in a comment statement.

Weird. That kind of thing is odd, but usually caused by something lke I
mentioned, or not closing a structure (class/endclass, if/endif, do
case/endcase ...).
