Getting Round The Crash

I'm sure you know this one, don't you?

If, in any Windows version of DataEase or Ffenics, you are happily developing away and you get the dreaded "Exception" message to tell you that all the work you just didn't save is heading down to Rio, then:

1. Curse
2. Curse again
3. Click the DataEase or Ffenics screen behind the message BEFORE you click ok, and
4. Go File -- Save/Save As, etc
5. Now click the GPF ok button to bomb out of your application.

You might even find you can continue working for a bit with that dialog box on screen ... but you might not get a second chance, so save, bomb out, and jump back in again.

Can 't guarantee it will always work, but as you only lifeline when this happens, always worth trying!
